InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics BO252503K10M-BO 10 m QSFP

The BlueOptics BO252503K10M-BO 10 m QSFP InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a male-to-male assembly engineered for high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances. With QSFP connectors on both ends, the cable supports dense, low-latency links commonly required in data centers and high-performance computing clusters. The 10 metre length balances reach and signal integrity for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack connectivity.

Advantages

This BlueOptics fibre optic cable provides a compact, QSFP-based connection that reduces cabling bulk while maintaining high throughput and low latency. The design emphasizes signal stability and consistent performance across the 10 m span, making it suitable for applications that require reliable InfiniBand or optical links. The blue jacket aids visual identification in structured cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and servers in data centers
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster links
• Low-latency storage area network (SAN) connections
• Short to medium reach optical links within racks and between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP on both ends (male-to-male)
• Cable length: 10 metres
• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic
• Jacket colour: Blue
• Designed for high-speed, low-latency data transmission

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable for damage before installation. Route the cable following standard data centre cable management practices to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding port until it latches; ensure modules or ports are compatible with QSFP interfaces. After connection, verify link status and perform throughput or diagnostic tests as required by your network management tools.

Usage recommendations

Maintain bend radius and avoid tension on the cable to preserve optical performance. Use proper labeling and pathway management for identifying blue QSFP links, and periodically check connectors for dust or contamination, cleaning them with appropriate optical cleaning tools when necessary.
