BlueOptics MCP1600-C003E30L InfiniBand vláknový kábel 3 m QSFP28 čierny

The BlueOptics MCP1600-C003E30L InfiniBand fibre optic cable 3 m QSFP28 Black is a 3-metre high-speed passive optical link with QSFP28 connectors designed for low-latency, high-throughput interconnections. It provides a direct male-to-male connection for networking equipment and server interfaces that support InfiniBand and QSFP28 transceivers. The cable's construction targets reliable signal transmission over short to medium distances in rack, cabinet and data center topologies.

Advantages

This QSFP28 fibre optic cable offers high data-rate capability and consistent low-latency performance suitable for accelerated computing and storage fabrics. Its standardized QSFP28 connector interface ensures wide compatibility with modern InfiniBand ports and related switch or adapter modules. The 3 m length balances reach and cable management, reducing excess slack while enabling flexible routing inside racks. The cable’s black jacket provides a neutral appearance for organized cable runs.

Suitable for

• Direct server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand fabrics
• Storage networks and SAN interconnects requiring low latency
• Top-of-rack and middle-of-row cabling where a 3 m reach is appropriate

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28, male-to-male
• Length: 3 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Cable jacket colour: black
• Designed for low latency and high throughput links within racks and cabinets

How to use

Verify that both endpoints support QSFP28 and the intended InfiniBand link configuration before installation. Remove any protective caps on the QSFP28 connectors, align the connector keying with the device port and insert the connector until it latches. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; follow rack cable management best practices to maintain bend radius and minimize strain. After installation, confirm link status and perform basic throughput or link tests as required by your network management procedures.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, avoid contaminating connector endfaces, and use compressed air or approved cleaning tools if needed. Maintain recommended minimum bend radius and avoid routing near high-EMI sources. For reliable operation, match cable characteristics with device transceiver specifications and confirm firmware or driver compatibility for InfiniBand links.
