InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics 470-ABPY 1 m QSFP28 Black

The BlueOptics 470-ABPY 1 m QSFP28 Black is an InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with QSFP28 connectors on both ends designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and networking environments. With a 1 metre length and a durable black jacket, this cable supports low-latency, high-throughput connections between compatible QSFP28 ports, making it suitable for interconnects in server racks, switches, and storage systems.

Advantages

This cable provides reliable signal integrity for high-bandwidth applications while maintaining minimal insertion loss and low latency. The QSFP28-to-QSFP28 configuration simplifies connectivity between devices that support 100Gb/s or compatible multi-lane interfaces. The compact 1 m length reduces cable clutter and supports neat rack management, and the robust outer jacket increases mechanical protection for frequent handling and routing.

Suitable for

• Connecting QSFP28 ports between network switches and servers
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand clusters
• Short-reach links within server racks and top-of-rack installations
• Storage area networks and high-throughput data transfers

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic
• Connector type: QSFP28 on both ends
• Length: 1 metre
• Colour: Black
• Designed for: low latency, high bandwidth links

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP28 ports and that the transceiver or port configuration supports the intended data rate. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, and insert the connectors firmly into the QSFP28 slots until they click or seat securely. Verify link status and negotiated speed through device management interfaces or LEDs. For best performance, avoid running the cable alongside sources of electromagnetic interference and maintain recommended bend radii.

Recommendations

Use the 1 m length for short interconnections inside racks or between adjacent equipment to minimize latency and maintain tidy cable management. Regularly inspect connectors for contamination and clean with appropriate fibre-optic cleaning tools if necessary. Replace the cable if you observe degraded link performance or physical damage to the jacket or connectors.
