Network Cable BlueOptics MCP1650-V002E26_FF compatible BlueLAN DAC QSFP56 2m Blue

The BlueOptics MCP1650-V002E26_FF compatible BlueLAN DAC QSFP56 2m Blue is a direct-attach copper (DAC) network cable designed for short-range, high-bandwidth interconnects. At 2 meters length and fitted for QSFP56 interfaces, this cable supports reliable, low-latency data transmission for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections in dense networking environments. The blue jacket provides visual identification and the compact DAC format eliminates the need for separate transceivers, simplifying installation and reducing system power use.

Advantages

This QSFP56 DAC cable offers predictable signal integrity with minimal insertion loss over the 2 m span, enabling stable high-speed links for switches, servers and storage devices. The fixed-cable assembly provides a plug-and-play solution that reduces equipment complexity. Its compatible design ensures interoperability with BlueLAN QSFP56 ports while maintaining low power consumption compared with optical transceiver plus fiber alternatives.

Suitable for

• Short-range 200/400/800 Gbps uplinks and inter-switch connections
• High-density data center top-of-rack and middle-of-row cabling
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections inside racks
• High-performance computing clusters and storage fabrics

Key specifications

• Cable type: Direct-attach copper (DAC) twinax assembly
• Connector type: QSFP56 to QSFP56 compatible
• Length: 2 meters
• Color: Blue jacket for identification
• Use case: Short-reach, low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP56 plug into the corresponding port on your network devices until the latch engages. Verify link status on both devices and confirm negotiated speed and duplex through device management interfaces. For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends and maintain proper bend radius; route the cable within cable management trays or panels to prevent strain on connectors. When removing, depress the latch and pull straight out to prevent damage to the plug or port.

Usage recommendations

Use this DAC cable for connections up to 2 meters inside racks or between adjacent racks. Keep the cable away from sources of electromagnetic interference and avoid exceeding recommended operating temperatures. For longer distances or where optical isolation is required, consider using fiber-optic transceivers and patch cords instead.
