BlueOptics BO252503K50M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50 m QSFP

The BlueOptics BO252503K50M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50 m QSFP is a multimode interconnect designed for high-speed data transmission in data centres and high-performance computing environments. With QSFP male-to-male connectors and a 50-metre length, this cable supports short-range, low-latency links between switches, servers and storage systems where InfiniBand fabric is deployed. The cable construction and connector type are intended to maintain signal integrity and consistent throughput across the link.

Advantages

This 50 m QSFP InfiniBand cable provides low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity suitable for clustered computing and storage networks. Its male-to-male QSFP connectors simplify direct connections between QSFP ports and reduce the need for additional adapters. The fibre construction reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and helps maintain transmission quality over the specified distance.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centres
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Storage area networks (SANs) and fast interconnect fabrics
• Short-reach InfiniBand fabric links requiring QSFP interfaces

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand multimode fibre optic cable
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 50 metres
• Typical use: short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects
• Physical form: ruggedised fibre assembly suitable for rack environments

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the QSFP connectors with the corresponding QSFP ports on network switches, servers or host adapters, then insert until the connector latches engage. Route the cable through the rack or cable management system to avoid sharp bends and reduce strain on the connectors. Verify link status and configuration in the connected devices and perform throughput or latency tests as required to confirm proper operation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines, avoid excessive tension on the cable, and use appropriate cable management to prevent kinks. Verify compatibility of QSFP port speed and protocol settings on connected equipment before deployment.
