SFP28 100G Cable CBO JL298A-BO by CBO, 30 m

SFP28 100G Cable CBO JL298A-BO by CBO, 30 m is a 30-metre high-speed connectivity cable intended for devices with SFP28 100G interfaces. The cable supports direct 100 Gigabit links between servers, switches and other network equipment in environments that require low-latency, high-throughput connections. It is suitable for rack-to-rack, switch-to-server and switch-to-switch links in data centres, aggregation layers and compute clusters.

Advantages

The cable delivers a single-cable solution for 100G direct connections with consistent electrical and optical performance suitable for SFP28 ports. Its 30 m length provides flexibility for typical data centre layouts without additional patching, while maintaining signal integrity for high-bandwidth traffic. The design reduces the need for intermediary transceivers and simplifies cabling runs, which helps lower insertion points and potential failure locations.

Suitable for

• Direct 100G connections between switches and servers
• Top-of-rack to aggregation switch links
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks
• Data centre spine-and-leaf fabrics

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28 100G compatible
• Length: 30 metres
• Data rate: 100 Gigabit per second
• Connection style: direct attach cable for high-density equipment
• Application: short- to medium-reach interconnects within data centres

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the network devices until the connector latches. Verify link status on both devices and confirm negotiated speed is 100G. Route the cable along planned pathways to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, and secure it to racks or cable guides as needed. If link issues occur, reseat connectors and check device port configurations and firmware compatibility with SFP28 direct attach cables.

Recommendations

Use this cable for in-rack or adjacent-rack 100G interconnects where a fixed-length direct attach solution reduces the need for optical transceivers. Avoid tight bends and exposure to mechanical stress; store and handle connectors with dust caps when not in use. Confirm device firmware and SFP28 port support before deployment to ensure full 100G operation.
