Glasvezel-InfiniBand-kabel BlueOptics BFXT-BO QSFP56 – 10 m, oranje, QSFP56 stekker-op-stekker

BlueOptics BFXT-BO is a 10 m fiber optic InfiniBand cable with QSFP56 male connectors on both ends, provided in orange for easy identification. The cable implements QSFP56-to-QSFP56 direct connectivity for high-speed links up to 200 Gbps and is suitable for use between switches, adapters and servers in data center and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. The design follows MSA-compatible QSFP56 AOC characteristics, incorporating optical transmitters and receivers optimized for multimode fiber transmission and short-reach 200GBASE-SR4 applications.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact active optical connection that reduces weight and electromagnetic interference compared with equivalent copper assemblies. With QSFP56 male-to-male connectors and a 10 m length, it provides reliable 200/100 Gbps link support while simplifying cable routing in dense rack deployments. Color coding in orange improves traceability in structured cabling systems and helps maintain clear port and link identification.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics BFXT-BO by inserting each QSFP56 connector into the appropriate QSFP56 port on network switches, adapters or servers until the latch engages. Ensure both endpoints support QSFP56-based 200G or compatible 100G operation and that firmware or port settings match the desired protocol (Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or other supported transport). Route the 10 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain recommended bend radius and secure the cable within rack management accessories where available.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility and supported link profiles before deployment. For optimal optical performance, use multimode fiber patching and port configurations that match short-reach SR4 specifications, and keep connectors clean and protected from contamination during installation and maintenance.
