BlueOptics BO282803L20M-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 20 m QSFP28 Male

The BlueOptics BO282803L20M-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 20 m QSFP28 Male is a 20-metre multimode fibre optic link with QSFP28 male connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in data centre and enterprise networking environments. The cable supports InfiniBand signalling and is intended to provide low-latency, high-throughput connections between switches, servers and storage systems where QSFP28 interfaces are used.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable offers predictable signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The 20 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or across-rack interconnects while maintaining minimal insertion loss. QSFP28 male connectors ensure compatibility with standard QSFP28 ports and support high data rates required by modern computing clusters and storage fabrics.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect both QSFP28 connectors and port interfaces for dust or damage before installation. Align the connector keying with the QSFP28 socket and insert firmly until a secure engagement is felt. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. When removing, depress any latch mechanism and pull straight out to avoid stressing the fibre terminations. After installation, verify the link using appropriate diagnostics and link status indicators on connected equipment.

Recommendations

Use this BlueOptics QSFP28 InfiniBand fibre cable in controlled data centre environments. Maintain clean connector endfaces with appropriate cleaning tools and avoid repeated unplugging to extend service life. For optimal performance, match the cable to compatible QSFP28 ports and ensure transceiver and switch firmware support the intended InfiniBand data rates.
