Network Cable BlueOptics C-DQ8FNM003-H0-M-BO QSFP-DD InfiniBand 3m Aqua

The BlueOptics C-DQ8FNM003-H0-M-BO QSFP-DD InfiniBand 3m Aqua is a 3‑metre high-performance fiber optic cable with QSFP-DD connectors on both ends. Designed for InfiniBand and other high-speed networking environments, this cable supports dense, low-latency links commonly required in data centers, HPC clusters and server interconnects. The aqua-coloured jacket makes cable identification easier in complex wiring setups, while the robust construction ensures stable optical connections and reliable signal transmission over the specified distance.

Advantages

This QSFP-DD InfiniBand cable provides a compact, high-density connection option with low insertion loss and predictable optical performance across the 3 m length. Dual QSFP-DD terminations simplify direct-attached connections between compatible transceivers and adapters, reducing the need for additional patching. The cable’s lightweight build and durable jacket improve manageability and long-term reliability in rack and cabinet installations.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both devices support QSFP-DD interfaces and are powered down or configured for hot-plug according to vendor guidance. Align each QSFP-DD connector with the corresponding port and insert until the latch engages, confirming a secure mechanical and optical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain recommended bend radius for fiber optic assemblies. For removal, release the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the transceiver or cable.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics QSFP-DD cable for short-reach direct-attached InfiniBand links up to 3 metres. Keep connectors clean and protected when not in use, follow manufacturer guidelines for bend radius and handling, and verify compatibility with host and switch QSFP-DD transceivers to ensure optimal performance.
