BlueOptics MCP1600-C002E30N InfiniBand vláknový kábel 2 m QSFP28 konektor

The BlueOptics MCP1600-C002E30N InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP28 Male is a 2-metre multimode optical interconnect designed for high-density networking environments. It features QSFP28-compatible male connectors at both ends to support InfiniBand fabric links and high-speed server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections. The cable is intended for short-reach links inside racks and between adjacent racks where low-latency, high-throughput links are required.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides stable high-bandwidth transmission with low insertion loss and consistent signal integrity across the 2-m length. Its QSFP28 connector format supports 100 Gbps class interfaces and is compatible with InfiniBand endpoints that accept QSFP28 optics. The compact, flexible jacket and keyed connector housings simplify installation in dense patching environments while helping to maintain channel performance.

Suitable for

• Short-reach InfiniBand links in data centres and HPC clusters
• Server-to-top-of-rack and switch-to-switch connections
• High-throughput, low-latency fabric interconnects
• Environments requiring QSFP28 connectivity and multimode fibre

Key specifications

• Cable type: multimode fibre optic cable
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 2 m
• Supported applications: InfiniBand high-speed data links
• Typical reach: short-reach multimode channels (in-rack / adjacent rack)
• Jacket: flexible, installation-friendly design for high-density routing

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the QSFP28 male connectors with the corresponding QSFP28 ports on the devices until the connectors engage. Ensure both transceiver ports are clean and free of dust before insertion to maintain optimum signal quality. Route the cable through rack channels or cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension. Confirm link status in the host or switch management interface after connecting to verify successful negotiation of InfiniBand link parameters.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep connector endfaces protected with dust caps until installation and use appropriate fibre cleaning tools if contamination is suspected. Maintain bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum, avoid tight loops, and use cable management to reduce strain. Verify compatibility with the connected InfiniBand equipment and preferred link settings (speed, lane configuration) to ensure optimal throughput.
