BlueOptics MCP1650-V01AE30 InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 2 m QSFP56 zwart

The BlueOptics MCP1650-V01AE30 InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2 m duplex assembly with QSFP56 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data centre and enterprise interconnects, this black cable supports reliable short-range optical links between QSFP56 ports. The cable combines a compact footprint with optical performance suitable for low-latency, high-bandwidth environments where stable InfiniBand connectivity is required.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable provides consistent signal integrity and low attenuation across a 2 metre link length, enabling dependable high-throughput connections. QSFP56 connectors on both ends ensure straightforward plug-and-play installation and compatibility with a wide range of QSFP56-capable switches, adapters and host interfaces. The cable's construction prioritises mechanical durability and stable optical alignment to reduce downtime and simplify rack-side cabling.

Suitable for

• Short-range InfiniBand connections in data centres
• Inter-rack and intra-rack high-bandwidth links
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnects
• Upgrading or replacing QSFP56 optical links on switches and adapters

Key specifications

• Cable type: duplex fibre optic
• Connector type: QSFP56 male on both ends
• Length: 2 metres
• Colour: black
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data links

How to use

Ensure both endpoints support QSFP56 optical transceivers and that ports are rated for InfiniBand operation. Handle the cable by the connector housings, avoiding undue bending of the fibre assembly. Insert each QSFP56 connector into the corresponding port until it latches, then verify link status on connected devices. For removal, depress the connector latch (if present) and pull straight out to avoid stressing the fibre. Follow device manufacturer guidance for port configuration and any required firmware or software settings to enable the InfiniBand link.

Recommendations

Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid tight cable ties to preserve optical performance. Use this 2 m cable for short-distance links inside racks or between adjacent racks to minimise signal loss and simplify cable management. Store unused cables in a dust-free environment and protect connector end faces from contamination with caps when not in use.
