InfiniBand cable CBO SC272701Q2M30 2 m SFP28, black

The InfiniBand cable CBO SC272701Q2M30 2 m SFP28 in black is a passive direct-attach cable designed for short-reach, high-speed interconnects between servers, switches and storage devices that use SFP28 ports. With a 2 meter length and SFP28 connectivity, this cable supports InfiniBand links in data center rack-to-rack or chassis-to-chassis configurations where low-latency, high-throughput connections are required.

Advantages

This passive InfiniBand cable offers a compact, low-power solution for high-speed links by eliminating the need for external transceivers. Its SFP28 form factor ensures physical compatibility with standard SFP28 ports, providing straightforward installation and reliable mechanical fit. The 2 m length is optimized for short interconnect paths in racks and across adjacent racks, reducing excess cable slack and improving airflow in dense installations.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP28 end of the cable securely into the corresponding SFP28 port on your server, switch or storage device until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are connected to compatible SFP28 ports configured for the intended InfiniBand link. Verify link lights or system management interfaces indicate an active connection and confirm network settings such as speed, duplex and protocol configuration as required by your equipment. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m passive SFP28 InfiniBand cable for short, high-performance links where direct-attach solutions are supported by your hardware. Avoid exceeding manufacturer-recommended bend radii, keep the cable clear of high-temperature sources, and ensure compatibility with the SFP28 ports and firmware of connected devices.
