BlueOptics X66211A-2-BL InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 2m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics X66211A-2-BL InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 2m QSFP28 Male/Male is a 2‑meter high‑speed interconnect designed for short‑range links in data centers and network racks. It features QSFP28 connectors on both ends and is intended for 100G class InfiniBand and Ethernet environments where a reliable, low‑latency fibre link is required. The cable provides a plug‑and‑play connection between QSFP28 ports and is compatible with systems that accept QSFP28 male/male fibre assemblies.

Advantages

This InfiniBand fibre optic cable offers a compact, pre‑terminated solution for 100G connections with QSFP28 connectors, enabling straightforward installation in rack and adjacent‑rack deployments. The design minimizes signal loss and supports high throughput suitable for demanding network and storage applications. Being a passive fibre assembly, it reduces power requirements at the link endpoints and delivers predictable performance when used with compatible QSFP28 interfaces.

Suitable for

• Short‑range QSFP28 to QSFP28 interconnects in server racks
• High‑speed InfiniBand and 100G Ethernet links
• Connections between switches, routers and storage systems with QSFP28 ports
• Data center top‑of‑rack and adjacent‑rack cabling

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand fibre optic assembly with QSFP28 connectors
• Length: 2 meters
• Connector configuration: QSFP28 Male to QSFP28 Male
• Intended data rate class: 100G transmission environments
• Form factor: Pre‑terminated duplex/multipair QSFP28 optical cable

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are seated firmly and that port/module link LEDs indicate an active connection according to your equipment documentation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment or cable manufacturer. Verify link configuration and protocol settings on connected devices to match InfiniBand or Ethernet operation at 100G where required.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short, direct QSFP28 links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid excessive bending, exposure to liquids, or mechanical strain on the connector. Confirm compatibility with the QSFP28 ports and firmware requirements of your hardware before deployment.
