BlueOptics BO252503K2M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP Male/Male

The BlueOptics BO252503K2M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP Male/Male is a 2-metre multimode cable with QSFP form-factor connectors on both ends. It is designed to support high-speed data transmission and stable connectivity in data center, server rack and switch-to-switch environments. The cable's QSFP Male/Male connection provides a compact interface for equipment that accepts QSFP modules, enabling low-latency links and consistent throughput for demanding networking applications.

Advantages

This 2 m QSFP Male/Male fibre optic cable offers high bandwidth capacity suitable for InfiniBand and other high-speed interconnects while maintaining a compact and standardized connector format. The product provides reliable signal integrity over short to medium distances, low insertion loss and compatibility with QSFP-enabled hardware. Its factory-terminated design eliminates the need for on-site connector assembly and helps ensure predictable performance in rack and chassis installations.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-server high-speed links in data centers
• Rack-mounted equipment interconnects where QSFP ports are present
• Short to medium distance optical connections requiring low latency

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable length: 2 metres
• Application: InfiniBand and high-speed fibre optical interconnects
• Physical form: factory-terminated optical cable with robust connector housings
• Performance characteristics: designed for low insertion loss and high bandwidth data transfer

How to use

Install the cable by firmly inserting each QSFP male connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the networking devices until the connector latches. Route the cable within the rack or cable management system to avoid sharp bends and excessive stress on the connector ends. Verify link status on connected devices and perform any required port configuration for the specific protocol in use. For predictable performance, keep the cable free from kinks and maintain appropriate bend radius as specified by the equipment vendor.

Usage recommendations

Use this QSFP Male/Male cable for direct optical connections between QSFP-enabled devices over short to medium distances. Avoid exposure to excessive mechanical stress, direct sunlight, or liquids. When installing in dense rack environments, use cable management to prevent connector strain and maintain optimal signal integrity.
