BlueOptics BO282803L25M-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 25m QSFP28 Male

The BlueOptics BO282803L25M-BO InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 25m QSFP28 Male is a single assembly designed for high-speed, low-latency connections between network devices. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends and a 25-metre fibre length, this cable supports dense data center topologies and high-performance computing links requiring reliable optical transmission. The construction is tailored to maintain signal integrity over longer runs while fitting standard QSFP28 ports used in InfiniBand and compatible Ethernet equipment.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable provides high bandwidth and low latency suitable for demanding network environments. The QSFP28 male-to-male connectors ensure compatibility with QSFP28 interfaces and simplify plug-and-play deployment. The 25 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections in data centres without the need for intermediate transceivers. The fibre design reduces electromagnetic interference and contributes to more stable long-distance optical links compared with copper alternatives.

How to use

Connect each QSFP28 male connector to the corresponding QSFP28 port on your switches, NICs or host adapters, ensuring connectors are inserted straight and fully seated. Route the cable through cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain minimum bend radius specified by the equipment vendor. Verify link status on connected devices and perform any required configuration for InfiniBand or Ethernet interfaces. When disconnecting, pull on the connector housing rather than the cable to prevent damage.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fibre cable in a clean environment to avoid contamination of optical interfaces. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and inspect connectors for debris before insertion. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive tensile loads; follow data centre cabling guidelines for slack loops and secure routing.
