IBM 98Y7005 – 1.14m QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable

Detailed Description:

The IBM 98Y7005 is a 1.14-meter cable featuring Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) connectors on both ends, designed specifically for high-density, high-speed data transmission between networking hardware. The QSFP+ standard is an evolution of the previous QSFP interconnect, supporting data rates of up to 40 Gigabits per second (Gbps) per channel, with the capacity to combine four channels for a total of 160 Gbps. This capability makes it especially suited for applications requiring high bandwidth, such as in data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and network backbones. The relatively short length of the cable allows for direct connection between adjacent devices without the need for excess cabling that could clutter the environment, enhancing airflow and system cleanliness. Constructed with precision engineering and high-quality materials, the IBM 98Y7005 ensures optimal signal integrity and durability, providing a reliable, high-performance connectivity solution. By leveraging this advanced cabling technology, organizations can significantly improve their data center infrastructure’s efficiency and scalability, making it a strategic component for supporting the ever-growing demand for faster data access and communication.
