InfiniBand-/glasvezelkabel BlueOptics QSFP-Cable-2M 2m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics QSFP-Cable-2M is a 2-meter InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with Male/Male QSFP form-factor connectors designed for high-throughput, low-latency links. This cable supports short-distance interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, providing reliable optical transmission for switches, servers and network adapters that use QSFP interfaces. The 2 m length balances reach and signal integrity for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections.

Advantages

The BlueOptics QSFP-Cable-2M delivers consistent high-speed data transfer while minimizing electromagnetic interference thanks to its optical medium. Its standardized QSFP connectors ensure interoperability with compatible QSFP ports and transceivers. The 2 m length reduces excess slack in structured cabling setups and helps maintain optimal signal attenuation characteristics. The cable's construction is focused on stability and predictable performance in demanding networking environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP-enabled switches and network adapters
• Server-to-switch connections in data center racks
• High-performance computing cluster links
• Short-distance optical links requiring low latency and high throughput

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 2 meters
• Medium: fibre optic
• Application: InfiniBand and optical QSFP interconnects
• Typical use: short-reach data center links and HPC environments

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP ports and that the ports are powered down or administratively disabled if required by your equipment maintenance procedures. Align the male QSFP connectors with the device ports and insert them gently until they seat firmly; verify link status via the device management interface or LEDs. Route the fibre cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended by the equipment vendor. After installation, enable the ports and confirm link negotiation and expected data rates.

Recommendations

Keep the cable clean and protected from dust when not in use; avoid kinks and tight bends to preserve optical performance. For optimal results in data center deployments, label both ends with port and device information and secure excess length using cable management accessories to prevent stress on connectors.
