Lenovo 00KF009 10M MELLANOX ACTIVE IB FDR OPTICAL FIBER

Overview

The Lenovo 00KF009 is a 10-meter active optical fiber cable designed for high-speed data interconnects using the InfiniBand FDR protocol. This cable features male connectors on both ends, facilitating direct connections between compatible InfiniBand switches, adapters, or servers. Its orange color aids in identification within dense server rack environments. This cable is sourced direct from the manufacturer, ensuring genuine product integrity for critical data center infrastructure.

Compatibility

This InfiniBand cable is engineered for systems supporting the FDR (Fourteen Data Rate) protocol, offering speeds up to 56 Gbps per lane. It is designed to interface with Mellanox-compatible InfiniBand ports and devices. Ensure your network infrastructure utilizes FDR-capable ports to leverage the full bandwidth of this optical cable. Specific compatibility extends to systems and adapters that accept standard FDR InfiniBand optical connectors.

Installation Notes

The Lenovo 00KF009 is a plug-and-play component. Ensure the environment is free from excessive dust and moisture, as optical connectors require clean mating surfaces for optimal performance. The 10-meter length provides moderate reach within racks or between adjacent equipment. The active nature of the cable means it contains integrated electronics, requiring no external power source beyond the host system's InfiniBand port.
