CBO InfiniBand cable SC272701Q5M26-BL — 5 m, SFP28-compatible, black

The CBO InfiniBand cable SC272701Q5M26-BL — 5 m, SFP28-compatible, black is a fixed-length 5 metre data cable designed for use with SFP28-compatible ports and InfiniBand interconnects. Its construction and length make it suitable for short-distance connections inside racks, cabinets and data centre equipment where high-speed, low-latency links are required. The cable is finished in black and intended for reliable point-to-point connectivity between switches, host adapters and storage or compute nodes.

Advantages

This 5 m InfiniBand cable supports SFP28-compatible interfaces and is built for environments that need stable, high-bandwidth links with predictable signal integrity over short distances. The fixed length reduces excess cable slack in racks and helps maintain neat cable routing. The cable’s compatibility with common SFP28 ports simplifies installation in modern server and networking equipment without the need for adapters.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one end of the cable to an SFP28-compatible port on the source device and the other end to the corresponding SFP28-compatible port on the destination device, ensuring secure seating of the connectors. Route the cable within the rack or cabinet to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; maintain the recommended bend radius for high-speed interconnects. Verify link status on both devices after installation and test throughput to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this fixed-length cable for point-to-point short-range connections inside racks or cabinets. Avoid tight bends, excessive pulling force and exposure to heat sources. For longer runs or different interface types, select an appropriate cable or transceiver that matches the required distance and interface specifications.
