BlueOptics 470-ACEY InfiniBand-glasvezelkabel 5 m SFP28 stekker

The BlueOptics 470-ACEY InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m SFP28 Male Male provides a 5-metre multimode optical link with SFP28 connectors on both ends for high-speed data transmission in server rooms, switches and storage networks. Designed for InfiniBand environments, this cable supports low-latency, high-throughput connections between compatible ports and is intended for use where reliable, point-to-point optical links are required. The male-to-male SFP28 interface ensures direct compatibility with SFP28 transceiver slots and equipment that accept standard SFP28 plug-in modules.

Advantages

This 5 m InfiniBand fibre optic cable offers stable signal integrity and consistent bandwidth across its length, reducing packet loss and retransmissions in demanding network conditions. The SFP28 male-to-male configuration provides easy integration into existing SFP28-capable devices without the need for adapters. Its fibre construction limits electromagnetic interference and enables longer, cleaner runs compared with copper alternatives, which is beneficial for dense data centre topologies.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch optical links
• Storage area networks (SAN) requiring low-latency connections
• Data centre rack interconnects and network consolidation

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Cable length: 5 metres
• Transmission medium: Fibre optic (multimode)
• Designed for: InfiniBand high-speed links
• Characteristic: Low latency and high throughput for short to medium distances

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 transceiver slot on your devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are securely seated and that connected equipment is powered and configured for the appropriate InfiniBand link rates. Verify link status via the host or switch management interface and replace or reseat the cable if continuity or link indicators do not appear. Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions and keep fibre endfaces clean to maintain optimal performance.

Recommendations

Store the cable coiled without tight bends and avoid routing near sharp edges or high-heat sources. Clean endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools before installation. Use this cable within the specified distance for multimode InfiniBand deployments to ensure intended latency and bandwidth characteristics.
