InfiniBand/sklenené vlákno kábel Aruba X241 100G QSFP28, 3 m

The Aruba X241 100G QSFP28 fibre optic cable (3 m) provides a 100 Gb/s link using QSFP28 connectors on both ends. Engineered for data center and high-performance computing environments, this HP Enterprise cable supports multimode MPO termination and enables up to 100 m transmission over suitable multimode fiber when used with standard MPO interfaces. The 3-meter length offers flexible rack-to-rack or device-to-device connectivity while maintaining the 100G performance required for higher-density network architectures.

Advantages

The cable delivers 100 Gbps throughput with QSFP28 compatibility, reducing the number of ports and hardware required to achieve equivalent aggregate bandwidth. Its MPO multimode termination supports up to 100 m reach on appropriate multimode fiber, helping lower cost per bit and potential CapEx and OpEx for interconnects. Robust construction and standard connector types ensure compatibility with a wide range of switches and transceivers that accept QSFP28 interfaces.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks and spine-to-leaf connections
• High-performance computing clusters
• Top-of-rack and mid-plane server interconnects
• Switch-to-switch 100G links in enterprise and carrier networks

Key specifications

• Model: Aruba X241 (HP Enterprise, MPN JL307A)
• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28, MPO multimode-compatible
• Data rate: 100 Gbps
• Length: 3 m
• Maximum multimode reach (typical): up to 100 m on appropriate MMF with standard MPO

How to use

Connect each QSFP28 end into the corresponding QSFP28 port on network switches, servers, or transceivers. Ensure both ends are fully seated and the MPO ferrule is clean before insertion to avoid signal loss. Verify that connected equipment is configured for 100G operation and that the fiber type and transceiver modules (if used) support multimode MPO connections and the intended reach.

Recommendations

Use proper fiber handling: keep connectors capped when not in use, clean end faces with approved cleaning tools before mating, and avoid tight bends or stress on the cable. Confirm compatibility of endpoints (QSFP28 ports and transceivers) and verify link operation after installation to ensure full 100G performance.
