BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-C-00501 InfiniBand optický kábel 0,5 m čierny

The BlueOptics 40G-QSFP-C-00501 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 0.5 m Black is a short-range high-speed link designed for data centre and server rack environments. With male QSFP connectors at both ends and a compact 0.5 metre length, this fibre cable provides low-loss optical transmission for applications that require reliable point-to-point connections within equipment racks or between adjacent patch panels. The cable is intended for use where minimal latency and predictable signal integrity are important, while conserving space and reducing cable clutter.

Advantages

This 0.5 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable offers consistent 40G-class throughput and stable optical performance over short distances. Its QSFP male connectors enable direct connection to compatible transceivers and QSFP ports, reducing the need for adapters. The short length improves airflow and cable management in dense rack configurations and helps maintain signal quality by minimising attenuation associated with longer runs. The black outer jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for mixed-colour cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Short-distance links within server racks and adjacent patch panels
• High-speed InfiniBand connections in data centres and HPC setups
• Connections between switches and QSFP-enabled network adapters
• Environments where compact cabling and reduced clutter are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: male QSFP at both ends
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Supported link standard: 40G-class InfiniBand optical transmission
• Colour: black outer jacket
• Application: short-range data centre and rack-to-rack connections

How to use

Inspect both QSFP connectors for cleanliness and ensure compatible QSFP ports or transceivers are powered down or set to a safe state before insertion. Align the QSFP connectors with the port guides and insert until a secure mechanical latch or retention mechanism engages. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for fibre cables. When removing the cable, depress the latch and withdraw straight to avoid stressing the connector or fibre.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the connector endfaces clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools, avoid running the cable near high-electromagnetic-interference sources, and use this short 0.5 m length for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections where 40G InfiniBand throughput and low latency are required.
