Cable InfiniBand CBO BN-QS-QS-CBL-3M-IB-BL — 3 m QSFP a QSFP, azul/naranja

Direct-attach CBO InfiniBand cable BN-QS-QS-CBL-3M-IB-BL is a 3-meter QSFP-to-QSFP link designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnections between servers, switches and storage systems. This fixed-length copper/active cable from BlueOptics supports QSFP form-factor ports and provides a simple physical connection without the need for separate transceivers. The cable’s 3 m length and QSFP-to-QSFP interfaces make it suitable for dense rack and top-of-rack deployments in data centers where predictable electrical performance and low latency are required.

Advantages

The cable offers a direct, low-latency connection with plug-and-play installation, eliminating the cost and complexity of separate optical transceivers. As a fixed-length QSFP-to-QSFP assembly it reduces cable management complexity and helps maintain predictable signal integrity at short distances. The robust connector housings and color-coded jacket facilitate rapid identification and organized cabling in multi-vendor environments.

How to use

Power down is not required for most modern QSFP ports; align each QSFP connector with its port and insert until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support the same QSFP electrical interface and link settings. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive strain on the cable; route the cable to minimize mechanical stress and maintain airflow within the rack. Verify link status on the connected devices and check that link speed and protocol settings match the intended InfiniBand or Ethernet configuration.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m QSFP-to-QSFP cable for short links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Keep connectors clean and handle the cable by the connector housings when plugging or unplugging to protect contacts and ensure long-term reliability.
