BlueOptics BO252503K3M-BO InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 3 m QSFP

The BlueOptics BO252503K3M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m QSFP is a 3-metre high-speed optical interconnect with QSFP-compatible male connectors at both ends. Designed for data centre and high-performance computing environments, this fibre optic cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links between switches, servers and storage arrays. The cable's QSFP form factor ensures compatibility with QSFP ports and QSFP-based transceivers commonly used in InfiniBand and Ethernet infrastructures.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers stable, low-loss optical transmission suitable for demanding network environments. Its 3 m length offers a balance between flexibility and signal integrity for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections. Male QSFP connectors provide straightforward plug-and-play installation with QSFP ports, while the optical medium reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The cable is appropriate where high throughput and reliable long-term operation are required.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both endpoints support QSFP optical connections and that transceivers or ports are rated for the intended InfiniBand or Ethernet protocol. Route the 3 m cable avoiding tight bends; maintain the recommended minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation. Align the QSFP connectors with the device ports and insert until the connector latches. Verify link status via device indicators or management software and, if necessary, check transceiver settings to match link speed and mode.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid pulling on the fibre jacket. For consistent performance, keep connectors clean and protected when not in use, and inspect termini for contamination before insertion. Use this 3 m QSFP fibre cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth links within racks or between adjacent racks where optical connectivity is required.
