BlueOptics CBL-NTWK-0942-MQ28E10M-BL InfiniBand Cable 1 m QSFP28 Orange

The BlueOptics CBL-NTWK-0942-MQ28E10M-BL is a high-performance InfiniBand Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for data centers and high-performance computing (HPC) environments. With a length of 1 meter and QSFP28 connectors on both ends, this passive cable supports EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) at 100 Gbps, ensuring reliable, low-latency connectivity for demanding applications.

Advantages

This cable offers a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for short-range InfiniBand connections. Its passive design consumes minimal power (typically less than 0.5W per end) and provides excellent signal integrity. The orange jacket makes it easy to identify in dense cable runs, and the PVC material ensures durability and flexibility.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects
• High-performance computing clusters
• Enterprise networking with QSFP28 ports
• InfiniBand EDR switches and HBAs
