InfiniBand/fibre optic cable NVIDIA 980-9I45J-00H010 QSFP56 to QSFP56 10 m (Aqua)

NVIDIA 980-9I45J-00H010 is a 10 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with QSFP56 male connectors at both ends and an aqua-coloured jacket. It is designed for short-range optical links between compatible QSFP56 ports in data centers, server racks and high-performance computing environments. The cable supports high-speed, low-latency interconnects for networking and storage systems where reliable optical transmission and compact routing are required.

Advantages

The cable provides a standardized QSFP56 to QSFP56 optical connection that minimizes signal loss and preserves bandwidth across a 10 m distance. Its aqua-coloured jacket aids quick identification in dense cabling environments. As an optical InfiniBand link, it avoids electrical interference and supports low-latency data transfer suitable for clustered servers and storage arrays. The pre-terminated design simplifies installation and reduces the need for field termination tools.

Suitable for

• Short-range interconnects between QSFP56 ports in switches and host adapters
• High-performance computing clusters and server-to-server links
• Storage area networks and high-speed aggregation links
• Data center rack cabling where optical connections are required

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic
• Connector type: QSFP56 male to QSFP56 male
• Length: 10 m
• Jacket colour: aqua
• Transmission: short-range optical link optimized for low latency

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP56 connector into the corresponding QSFP56 port on networking equipment or host adapters until the connector latches. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Ensure both endpoints support QSFP56 optical links and verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces. For maintenance, power down affected ports if required by your operational procedures before unplugging the cable.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable to prevent kinks and avoid exposure to liquids or excessive heat. Use the aqua jacket for visual tracing in dense racks and label both ends if used in larger deployments. Verify compatibility of QSFP56 ports and firmware with short-range optical modules before deployment to ensure full performance.
