Fiber optic InfiniBand cable BlueOptics P06153-B23-BO QSFP56 to QSFP56 10 m Orange

BlueOptics P06153-B23-BO QSFP56 to QSFP56 10 m Orange is a multimode fiber optic InfiniBand cable designed for short to medium reach high-speed links. The 10 meter active optical cable features QSFP56 male connectors on both ends and supports 200G data rates over a multimode channel. Its orange jacket identifies the multimode fiber type and the cable is intended for use between QSFP56 ports in data centers, HPC clusters and storage networks where low latency and reliable connectivity are required.

Advantages

The cable integrates optical transmitters and receivers in the QSFP56 modules at each end, enabling plug-and-play 200GBASE-SR4 style connectivity while maintaining compatibility with QSFP56 interfaces. Using multimode fiber and an orange jacket provides clear identification in cabling systems and simplifies installation in dense network environments. The 10 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment interconnects without excess slack.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnects
• Data center switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links
• Storage area network (SAN) and storage system connectivity
• Low-latency InfiniBand or Ethernet 200G links within racks or between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP56 male to QSFP56 male
• Length: 10 meters
• Optical type: Multimode fiber (OMx, orange jacket)
• Supported data rate: up to 200 Gbps aggregate (200G applications)
• Application interfaces: QSFP56-compatible ports for InfiniBand and Ethernet

How to use

Insert each QSFP56 connector firmly into the respective port until the latch engages. Ensure both attached devices support QSFP56 modules and the intended 200G signaling protocol (for example 200GBASE-SR4 or InfiniBand configurations). Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber. If your devices require link negotiation or specific port settings, configure them according to the equipment vendor’s instructions.

Usage recommendations

Use this AOC in short- to medium-reach scenarios inside data centers and server rooms. Verify compatibility with the target QSFP56 ports and consult device documentation for any vendor-specific requirements. Avoid excessive pulling force, keep connectors clean, and store the cable coiled without sharp kinks to preserve optical performance.
