BlueOptics MCP1600-E002E30 InfiniBand-glasvezelkabel 2 m QSFP28

The BlueOptics MCP1600-E002E30 InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP28 is a duplex male-to-male multimode cable designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth links in data centers and high-performance computing clusters. With QSFP28 connectors on both ends, the cable supports InfiniBand signaling and is intended to provide low-latency, high-throughput connections between switches, host adapters and storage systems over a 2-metre distance.

Advantages

This 2 m QSFP28 InfiniBand cable offers a compact, industry-standard connector interface for reliable optical transmission. Its multimode fibre construction reduces insertion loss and supports high data rates required by modern InfiniBand fabrics. The male/male QSFP28 termination allows direct mating with QSFP28 ports without additional adapters, facilitating quick installation and predictable electrical and optical performance.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between InfiniBand switches and host channel adapters in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low latency and high throughput
• Direct connections to storage arrays and NVMe-over-Fabrics endpoints with QSFP28 ports
• Short-reach optical links within server racks and equipment cabinets

Key specifications

• Cable type: multimode fibre optic duplex
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 2 metres
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed data transmission
• Typical use case: short-reach intra-rack and inter-rack links

How to use

Route the BlueOptics QSFP28 fibre cable between QSFP28 ports on compatible devices, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Align each QSFP28 plug with the device port and push until it seats securely; follow equipment vendor guidance for latch operation where applicable. Observe proper bend radius limits for multimode fibre and avoid tight kinks to maintain optical performance. Verify link status on connected devices and perform any required link training or configuration according to your InfiniBand switch or adapter documentation.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before each installation. Maintain gentle cable management, avoid exceeding bend radius, and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. Use this cable for short-reach connections up to 2 m; for longer spans or single-mode requirements, select a cable type matched to the link distance and system specifications.
