Cabo InfiniBand CBO QTAPCABLE5M-BL 5 m QSFP, bainha azul, fichas pretas

The CBO InfiniBand cable QTAPCABLE5M-BL is a 5-meter fixed-length QSFP direct-attach cable with a blue outer jacket and black QSFP connectors. It is intended to provide a reliable short-range connection between QSFP ports on servers, switches or storage devices in data centers and high-performance computing environments. The cable supports point-to-point InfiniBand links where consistent physical characteristics and predictable latency are required.

Advantages

This QSFP cable offers a fixed 5 m length that simplifies rack planning and reduces the need for patch panels. The blue jacket improves physical identification in cable bundles while the black connectors provide durable mating to QSFP ports. As a direct-attach InfiniBand solution, the cable minimizes transceiver components and ensures low-latency, high-throughput links suitable for short-range interconnects.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP connector with the corresponding QSFP port on your devices and inserting until the connector latches. Verify secure mechanical connection and confirm link status in the host or switch management interface. Use the cable for direct point-to-point links; avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radii for cable longevity. For routine maintenance, power down equipment if required by your site procedures before disconnecting.

Recommendations

Route the cable to minimize stress at connector ends, keep it away from heat sources, and use color-coding to match your data center wiring scheme. For optimal performance, avoid exceeding the specified 5 m application range and follow rack airflow practices to prevent thermal impact on connectors and nearby components.
