BlueOptics X66130-2-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m SFP28 Black

The BlueOptics X66130-2-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m SFP28 Black is a 2‑metre cable with SFP28 connectors on both ends designed for high‑speed short‑reach interconnects in data centres and networking racks. It supports 25G class links typical for SFP28 interfaces and is intended for reliable, low‑latency connections between switches, servers and storage devices that accept SFP28 transceivers or SFP28 direct attach solutions.

Advantages

This SFP28 fibre optic cable provides a compact, low‑profile connection suitable for dense rack environments, offering consistent signal integrity for 25G‑class transmissions over a 2 m distance. The cable is designed to meet common MSA interface expectations for SFP28 connectivity and to deliver stable performance for InfiniBand and Ethernet‑class applications where a short, direct fibre link is required. Its black jacket and standard SFP28 terminations simplify installation and cable management in professional networking setups.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches and servers in racks and adjacent racks
• High‑speed InfiniBand and 25G Ethernet links
• Data centre uplinks and storage networking connections
• Low‑latency links for compute clusters and storage arrays

Key specifications

• Cable type: multimode/mode appropriate fibre for SFP28 (factory terminated with SFP28 interfaces)
• Connector type: SFP28 on both ends
• Length: 2 metres
• Colour: black jacket for rack integration
• Supported link class: 25G‑class SFP28 applications and InfiniBand links over a 2 m reach

How to use

Install the BlueOptics X66130-2-BL by inserting each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 ports on networking equipment such as switches, routers, servers or storage devices. Ensure devices are powered down or ports are prepared according to the equipment vendor’s hot‑plug guidance before insertion if required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it with appropriate cable management to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on the connectors. Verify link status on the connected devices and confirm negotiated speed and protocol (for example 25G Ethernet or InfiniBand) according to your system configuration.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within its intended 2 m reach, avoid excessive bending or crushing, and ensure both connected devices support SFP28 interfaces and the chosen 25G/InfiniBand protocol. Follow your hardware vendor’s compatibility guidance and test links after installation to confirm expected performance.
