Cavo ottico QSFP CBO MC2206310-002 2 m

Passive optical QSFP cable CBO MC2206310-002 2 m is a 2-metre multimode fiber interconnect designed for short-range links between QSFP-enabled switches, routers and servers. The cable delivers a compact, low-latency physical connection suitable for high-density rack environments and simplifies cabling where space is constrained. It is intended for data centre topologies that use QSFP form-factor ports and passive optical direct-attach solutions.

Advantages

The passive optical design reduces power consumption compared with active transceiver-based connections and provides consistent signal integrity over short distances. Its 2 m length balances reach and manageability in dense rack installations, while the QSFP form factor ensures compatibility with equipment that supports QSFP optical interfaces. The cable’s compact profile helps maintain airflow and reduces cable clutter in server cabinets.

Suitable for

• Short-reach links between QSFP-enabled switches and routers in data centres
• Server-to-switch connections in high-density racks
• Equipment-to-equipment interconnects where cable routing space is limited
• Aggregation and leaf-spine network segments using QSFP ports

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP optical interfaces (QSFP form factor)
• Cable type: Passive multimode optical cable suitable for short-range links
• Length: 2 metres
• Application: Data centre interconnects, rack-level cabling
• Physical characteristics: Compact, low-profile cable for dense installations

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on network devices, ensuring proper orientation and engagement until the connector latches. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber. No external power or configuration is required for the passive optical cable itself, but verify that connected devices support passive QSFP optical links and the expected link speed.

Recommendations

For reliable operation in dense racks, keep the cable protected from sharp bends and secure it with cable management to prevent connector strain; confirm device compatibility with passive QSFP optical cables and verify link status after installation.
