InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel NVIDIA 980-9I63V-00A005 5 m SFP28 zwart

The NVIDIA 980-9I63V-00A005 is a 5 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-performance computing and data center environments. Engineered to support high-throughput, low-latency links, this cable provides a direct optical connection between SFP28-enabled devices for reliable data transmission in cluster, storage and switch interconnects.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable combines the small form-factor SFP28 interface with the signal integrity and distance advantages of optical media. The 5 m length enables flexible rack and cabinet routing while maintaining consistent performance. The design reduces electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with copper alternatives, and the black jacket provides a discreet, professional appearance in cable-managed installations.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and node interconnects
• Data centre switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links
• Storage area network (SAN) connections requiring low latency
• Environments where optical isolation and EMC immunity are needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: fibre optic with SFP28 male-to-male connectors
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector form factor: SFP28 small form-factor pluggable (both ends)
• Colour: black outer jacket
• Application: InfiniBand and compatible 25GbE/SFP28 optical links

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your networking equipment until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered down or the ports are configured for hot-plug operation according to the device manufacturer's guidelines. After physical installation, verify that link status and negotiated speed are correct in the host or switch management interface and monitor for any link errors.

Recommendations

Route the cable with appropriate bend radius to avoid kinking and maintain optical performance. Keep connectors capped until installation to prevent contamination. For consistent system performance, match the cable with SFP28-compatible optics and verify firmware and driver compatibility on connected devices.
