BlueOptics MCP1600-C02AE26N InfiniBand-glasvezelkabel 3 m QSFP28 zwart

The BlueOptics MCP1600-C02AE26N InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 3 m high-speed connection with QSFP28 male-to-male connectors, designed for stable, low-latency data transfer in demanding networking environments. Its single cable length of three metres provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections in data centers and high-performance computing clusters while supporting the physical interface requirements of QSFP28 transceivers.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable offers reliable signal integrity and low insertion loss thanks to quality optical components and factory-terminated connectors. The QSFP28 connector format ensures compatibility with high-density networking equipment and allows for high bandwidth throughput suitable for modern InfiniBand fabrics. The 3 m length balances reach and manageability, reducing excess cabling while maintaining clearance for airflow and rack organisation.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP28 ports in data center switches and servers
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links
• Storage area networks and high-throughput storage arrays
• Network test benches and lab environments with InfiniBand hardware

Key specifications

• Cable type: fibre optic multimode/InfiniBand-compatible (factory-terminated)
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 3 metres
• Colour: black
• Suitable for high-speed, low-latency data links and high-bandwidth fabrics

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable ends for damage before installation. Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding port until it clicks or seats securely, following the equipment manufacturer's guidance for handling transceivers and cables. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the recommended bend radius for fibre cables. Ensure proper cable management to preserve airflow and ease of maintenance, and power cycle or reconfigure network interfaces if required after physical connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this QSFP28 fibre cable in systems and transceivers that support InfiniBand QSFP28 interfaces. Avoid tight bends, excessive tension, or repeated unplugging; keep connectors clean and protected when not in use. When deploying in racks, secure the cable with appropriate management clips to prevent strain and preserve signal integrity.
