BlueOptics CBL-450-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 50 m QSFP Orange

The BlueOptics CBL-450-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 50 m QSFP Orange is a 50-metre multimode fibre assembly with QSFP-compatible connectors designed for high-speed interconnects in data center and enterprise networking environments. The cable supports reliable, low-latency optical links between switches, servers and storage equipment and is colour-coded orange for clear identification in cabling runs. The male-to-male QSFP terminations provide straightforward plug-and-play connectivity where QSFP ports are used.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers consistent optical performance over a 50 m distance, reducing signal loss and supporting stable high-bandwidth data transfer. The QSFP connectors are industry-standard for short-range high-throughput links and facilitate quick installation and replacement. The visible orange jacket aids cable management and identification in dense racks and patch panels, while the factory-terminated ends eliminate the need for field termination.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP-enabled switches and routers in data centers
• High-speed server-to-switch links in enterprise networks
• Storage area network (SAN) and cluster computing connections
• Short-range optical links within telecom and network distribution frames

Key specifications

• Cable length: 50 m
• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Cable type: multimode fibre optic
• Jacket colour: orange for visual identification
• Designed for short-range, high-throughput optical links

How to use

Route the cable along existing cable management paths and avoid tight bends to preserve optical performance. Align the QSFP connectors with the device ports and insert until secure; ensure that both ends are connected to compatible QSFP ports on networking equipment. Verify link status via device indicators or management software, and test throughput after installation to confirm expected performance.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable according to standard fibre optic practices: avoid crushing, excessive bending, and exposure to direct sunlight or liquids. Use labelled cable management and strain relief to maintain connector integrity. For best results in high-density installations, document connections and perform acceptance testing after deployment.
