Standard MT Cables
The most common connector for QDR is the Standard MT cables, with standard MT ferrules which are black in color and function by way of physical contact between fiber tips.
This table identifies Standard MT cable end types by the features of ferrule type, shell color, alignment method, and describes what that cable end type connects with.

Note - Some supported cables have a Standard MT connector on one end and a PrizmMT MPO connector on the other. Pay close attention when connecting this cable, to identify which connector is which, and not confuse the two.
Oracle supplies IB cables that are supported with this adapter. For more information, see the product web page at https://www.oracle.com/networking/dual-port-qdr-infiniband-adapter-m4/index.html.
Visually comparing the design of the three cables, note the differences between the Standard MT MPO cable on the left, and the PrizmMT MPO cables in the middle and on the right.
