Cable CBO BlueOptics BO252503K10M 10m QSFP

CBO BlueOptics BO252503K10M 10m QSFP is a 10-metre high-density cable designed for QSFP interfaces in data centre and networking environments. It is intended to connect QSFP ports for short-range optical or direct-attach applications, enabling reliable signal transmission and simplified cabling between switches, routers and servers. The cable supports compact rack deployments and point-to-point equipment interconnects where QSFP connectivity is required.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 10m QSFP cable offers compact construction with consistent electrical and optical performance for short-reach links. Its length and form factor reduce the need for additional patching and help maintain tidy rack layouts. The cable is made to industry handling standards to support easy installation and predictable signal quality across QSFP connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting QSFP ports between switches in high-density rack deployments
• Direct-attach links between servers and top-of-rack or spine switches
• Short-range interconnects in data centre aggregation and access layers
• Temporary or permanent consolidation of adjacent QSFP-equipped devices

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP-compatible direct-attach format for short-range links
• Cable length: 10 metres
• Intended use: Short-reach interconnects in data centre and enterprise networks
• Application: Point-to-point links for switches, routers and servers with QSFP interfaces
• Deployment: Suitable for high-density rack installations and structured cabling runs within racks

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 10m QSFP cable by aligning the QSFP connectors with the corresponding QSFP ports on each device and inserting firmly until the connector latch engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain, keeping it clear of airflow pathways and high-temperature components. For reliable operation, ensure both devices are powered down or ports are prepared according to the equipment manufacturer's hot-plug guidelines if required. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces after connection.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its specified 10 m distance for short-reach QSFP links and avoid exceeding recommended bend radii. Keep connectors clean and protected when not in use, and follow equipment vendor guidance for QSFP module compatibility and port settings to ensure stable, predictable links.
