CBO InfiniBand cable SC252501K2M30-BL, 2 m, QSFP, black

The CBO InfiniBand cable SC252501K2M30-BL is a 2 m, QSFP-compatible patch cable in black designed for short, direct connections between InfiniBand-enabled servers, switches and storage devices. Engineered for high-speed data center and high-performance computing environments, this cable delivers low-latency transmission and stable interconnect performance for clustered systems and rack-level cabling runs.

Advantages

This QSFP-compatible InfiniBand cable offers a compact 2 m length that minimizes cable clutter in dense rack environments while maintaining signal integrity for high-throughput links. The cable's construction provides consistent electrical characteristics and shielding to reduce interference and preserve low latency, making it suitable for demanding network topologies. Its black outer jacket ensures discreet routing and easy visual integration with existing infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between InfiniBand servers and switches in data centers
• Interconnects for high-performance computing clusters
• Direct attach links for storage arrays and compute nodes
• Patch cabling in server racks and blade chassis with QSFP ports

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP-compatible
• Cable length: 2 meters
• Color: black
• Application: InfiniBand short-reach direct attach
• Intended environment: data center and high-performance computing

How to use

Insert QSFP connectors into the corresponding QSFP ports on devices, ensuring proper orientation and a secure mechanical fit. Use the 2 m length to create short, direct attach links between adjacent rack units or within the same rack to reduce signal loss and latency. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force during installation; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius. For cable management, route through rack organizers or cable trays to prevent strain on the connectors and to keep airflow unobstructed.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, inspect ports and connectors for dust or debris before mating, use compatible QSFP ports and modules, and avoid tight bundling with power cables. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage. For optimal latency and throughput in clustered systems, use this short 2 m QSFP cable for direct connections between neighboring devices.
