BlueOptics InfiniBand/kuituoptinen kaapeli QSFP56 – 5 m, aqua

BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable QSFP56 — 5 m, Aqua colour is a 5-metre twin-ended assembly with QSFP56 connectors on both ends. It is designed for high-speed data interconnects in data centres and high-performance computing environments, providing a direct optical link between compatible QSFP56 ports for storage systems, switches and servers. The cable's aqua colour simplifies identification in dense cabling setups while the 5 m length supports flexible rack-to-rack or in-rack connections.

Advantages

This BlueOptics assembly supports QSFP56 interfaces and is optimized for low-latency, high-bandwidth links typical of InfiniBand and 200 Gbit/s Ethernet environments. The passive/active optical construction reduces electromagnetic interference concerns compared with copper alternatives and helps maintain signal integrity over the 5 m run. Lightweight construction and standardized QSFP56 form-factor ensure compatibility with a wide range of network equipment that accepts QSFP56 modules.

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP56 connector into the corresponding QSFP56 port on your network devices, ensuring proper alignment and a secure latch. Route the cable along existing cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and reduce strain on the connectors. Verify link status on both endpoints after connection and confirm negotiated speeds and lane configuration in device diagnostics or management interfaces.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer's minimum bend radius, keep connectors free from dust and debris, and use the aqua colouring to maintain organized patching in dense racks. Check that connected equipment supports QSFP56 optics and 200 Gbit/s link rates before deployment.
