CBO InfiniBand Cable SC252501K1M30-BL — 1 m QSFP to QSFP, blue jacket

CBO InfiniBand Cable SC252501K1M30-BL — 1 m QSFP to QSFP, blue jacket is a 1‑metre high‑speed link cable with QSFP connectors at both ends, intended for short‑reach interconnects in data centers, HPC clusters and storage arrays. The cable offers a compact QSFP form factor and a blue outer jacket, providing a direct copper or active cable connection between compatible QSFP ports to support low‑latency, high‑bandwidth server and storage communication.

Advantages

The cable simplifies installation by using identical QSFP terminations, eliminating the need for transceivers in short‑reach links. Its 1 m length reduces signal attenuation and supports reliable low‑latency connections in dense rack environments. The visible blue jacket aids in cable identification and management within server cabinets and cable trays. The design is suitable for direct copper or active cable operation where supported by connected equipment.

Suitable for

• Short‑reach connections between QSFP ports in data center switches and servers
• High‑performance computing (HPC) cluster node interconnects
• Storage array links requiring low latency and high bandwidth
• Top‑of‑rack and intra‑rack cabling where 1 m length is appropriate

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP
• Length: 1 metre
• Cable jacket colour: blue
• Application: short‑reach server, storage and switch interconnects
• Form factor: QSFP compatible direct cable or active cable

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be interconnected, ensuring proper alignment and a secure latch. Verify that connected equipment supports direct copper or active QSFP cable links and configure the ports as required by your networking or storage firmware. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, and label both ends if needed to assist future maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m QSFP-to-QSFP cable for short, direct links inside racks or between adjacent equipment. Confirm compatibility with device QSFP implementations and observe recommended bend radius and handling procedures to maintain signal integrity and connector reliability.
