HPE 1.5 m QSFP56 copper cable

This HPE cable provides a 1.5 m direct-attach copper link using QSFP56 connectors on both ends. It is built for InfiniBand HDR environments where short, low-latency connections between network devices are required. The shielded construction helps maintain signal integrity across the 4.92 ft span.

Build integration and cabling

The cable plugs straight into QSFP56 ports on switches, adapters or storage nodes without any transceivers or separate patch cords. Its fixed 1.5 m length reduces excess slack inside racks and simplifies cable-management planning for high-density HDR deployments.

Suitable for short-reach HDR links

It suits administrators who need a ready-made, shielded copper assembly for 1.5 m InfiniBand HDR runs. Buyers who require longer reach, optical media or a different connector type should look at other cable assemblies.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum reach of the 1.5 m QSFP56 copper cable?

The cable is 1.5 metres long, which is 4.92 ft, and is designed for short-reach InfiniBand HDR links between QSFP56 ports.

Does the copper construction run hot or need active cooling during continuous operation?

Passive copper cables generate no heat of their own and require no fan or power; the only thermal load comes from the switch or NIC ports they plug into.

What port type must my switch or NIC already have for this cable to work?

Both ends use QSFP56 connectors, so each device needs a QSFP56 cage that supports InfiniBand HDR electrical signalling.
