InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel Nvidia MCP1600-C00AE30N 0,5 m QSFP28 zwart

The MELLANOX InfiniBand/fibre optic cable Nvidia MCP1600-C00AE30N 0.5 m QSFP28 Black is a short, high-speed link designed for use in data centers and high-performance computing environments. With QSFP28 connectors at both ends and a 0.5 meter length, this cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth connections between compatible QSFP28 ports. Its construction targets reliability and signal integrity for dense rack deployments and direct-attached configurations.

Advantages

This QSFP28 fibre optic cable provides high data throughput and low latency suitable for modern InfiniBand networks and Ethernet environments that accept QSFP28 optics. The 0.5 m length reduces excess cable slack in densely populated racks and simplifies airflow management. The cable’s connector type and physical design ensure plug-and-play compatibility with devices that support QSFP28 interfaces, while the fibre medium maintains signal quality over short spans.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency interconnects
• Data center top-of-rack and end-of-row switch connections
• Direct-attach links between servers and switches with QSFP28 ports
• Environments where short, high-bandwidth optical links are needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic
• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Black
• Application: Short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting the QSFP28 connectors into compatible QSFP28 ports until the latch engages. Use the 0.5 m cable to create direct-attached links between adjacent rack-mounted devices or within the same equipment bay. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for fibre optic cabling. Ensure both endpoints support QSFP28 optical modules and are configured for compatible link speeds and protocols before powering up network equipment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable to minimize bend and strain, keep it clear of heat sources, and periodically inspect connectors for dust or contamination. Use dust caps when ports are not in use and follow data center cabling standards for labeling and management to maintain predictable network operation.
