Infiniband uses its own cables with dedicated/integrated transceivers. It's not compatible with Ethernet and can't be swapped (unless you plan to talk plain Ethernet with your IB card, which is possible). A 5m, 200gbps cable is $1,149.00 a pop [0]. Mind you, this is neither the longest, nor the fastest cable.
