BlueOptics X66100-3-BL cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 3 m QSFP

The BlueOptics X66100-3-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m QSFP is a 3-metre high-speed interconnect designed for short-reach links in data centres and high-performance computing environments. It uses QSFP connectors to support multi-lane InfiniBand and Ethernet class transmissions, providing a compact, low-latency connection between switches, storage systems and compute nodes. The cable is built for consistent data throughput and physical durability in rack-to-rack and intra-rack cabling runs.

Advantages

The cable offers reliable high-bandwidth transmission over a 3 m distance with QSFP connectivity suited for InfiniBand and 40G-class applications. Its construction emphasizes compatibility with common hardware that accepts QSFP interfaces and is manufactured to meet MSA-aligned physical and electrical characteristics. As a short-reach solution it delivers low latency and low power requirements compared with active optical modules, while being compact and simple to install in dense rack environments.

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: QSFP to QSFP
• Supported protocols: InfiniBand and 40G-class Ethernet/FCoE/Fibre Channel where QSFP passive/direct attach is supported
• Transmission class: short-reach direct attach (3 m)
• Design focus: low latency, low power consumption, compact form factor for dense rack cabling

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the network devices, ensuring proper alignment and full seating of the latch. Use the cable for direct connections between compatible QSFP ports on switches, routers, storage arrays or servers; verify that the host hardware and firmware support passive QSFP direct attach or the intended InfiniBand/40G protocol. Avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius to preserve signal integrity and cable longevity.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, confirm device compatibility before installation, route the cable to avoid mechanical stress, and keep the length to the intended 3 m range for optimal performance. Use in rack-to-rack or in-rack short-reach links where low latency and compact QSFP connections are required.
