BlueOptics QSFP-40G-C1M InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m Black

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-C1M InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m Black is a single 1-metre multimode fibre link with QSFP male connectors on both ends, developed for high-speed data transmission in networking and server environments. The cable supports InfiniBand and Fibre Channel applications where compact QSFP connectivity and short-reach, low-latency links are required. Its 1 m length and black jacket make it suitable for organized rack installations and short interconnects between switches, adapters and storage devices.

Advantages

This QSFP-40G-C1M cable provides reliable 40 Gbit/s class connectivity with QSFP form-factor terminations, ensuring straightforward plug-and-play installation in compatible QSFP ports. The multimode fibre construction minimizes signal loss over short distances and improves link stability in dense cabling environments. The cable's robust outer jacket and precise connector fit reduce mechanical stress and help maintain consistent optical performance.

Suitable for

• High-density switch-to-switch connections in data centres
• Server to top-of-rack switch links
• Storage area network (SAN) short-reach interconnects
• InfiniBand clusters and HPC interconnects requiring QSFP ports

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male to QSFP male
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: Black outer jacket
• Transmission standard: InfiniBand / multimode fibre for short-reach optical links
• Data rate class: designed for 40 Gbit/s environments
• Cable type: multimode optical fibre suitable for short-distance interconnects

How to use

Inspect both QSFP connectors and the device ports before installation to ensure they are free from dust and debris. Align each QSFP connector with the corresponding port and insert until it seats securely; no tools are required for connection. Route the 1 m cable along existing cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on the connectors. When removing the cable, press any release mechanism on the QSFP housing (if present) and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrules or connector housing.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the BlueOptics QSFP-40G-C1M in short-reach multimode environments consistent with 40 Gbit/s QSFP interfaces. Keep connectors protected when not in use, avoid tight bend radii, and follow equipment vendor guidance on QSFP port handling and port compatibility to maintain reliable, low-latency links.
