BlueOptics BO282803L2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP28

The BlueOptics BO282803L2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m QSFP28 is a short-reach optical link designed for high-speed data transmission in data centres and enterprise networking racks. This 2 metre cable uses QSFP28 male/male connectors to provide a compact, hot-pluggable connection between InfiniBand or QSFP28-capable switches, host adapters and other active modules. The cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links where space and cable management are important.

Advantages

The cable delivers stable signal integrity and consistent performance for short-reach interconnects, with QSFP28 connectivity that is compatible with many InfiniBand and 100 Gigabit Ethernet systems. Its 2 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections while keeping cable clutter to a minimum. The male/male termination ensures straightforward insertion and a secure mechanical fit in QSFP28 ports.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by aligning the QSFP28 male connectors with the corresponding QSFP28 ports on the devices and gently inserting until the connector latches engage. Ensure both ends are fully seated to maintain signal integrity. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and minimize stress on the connectors; follow rack and conduit pathways to keep airflow and access unobstructed. If replacing an existing cable, power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by your hardware vendor if required.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m QSFP28 fibre optic cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections where low latency and clean cable management are priorities. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius for the fibre, protect connector end-faces from dust and contamination, and store unused connectors with protective caps. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and follow equipment vendor guidance for hot-plug handling.
