InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics MA-CBL-100G-1M 1m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics MA-CBL-100G-1M is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable equipped with QSFP28 connectors on both ends. Engineered for high-speed data transmission, this male-to-male cable supports connections between compatible QSFP28 ports in switches, servers and network adapters. Its compact 1 metre length reduces excess cabling in rack environments while maintaining signal integrity for short-range interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing clusters.

Advantages

This QSFP28 cable provides a standardized connector interface and is optimized for 100 Gigabit-class links over short distances. The fixed-length design minimizes insertion loss and simplifies cable management in dense installations. Constructed for compatibility with InfiniBand and fibre optic infrastructures, the cable offers consistent latency performance and reliable physical connection between high-speed devices.

Suitable for

• Short-range 100 GbE or InfiniBand connections inside racks and between adjacent racks
• High-performance computing clusters and server-to-switch interconnects
• Data center top-of-rack and access layer links requiring QSFP28 interfaces
• Network equipment testing and temporary interconnects during maintenance

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic hybrid suitable for QSFP28 interfaces
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Length: 1 metre
• Data rate support: 100 G (class rating for QSFP28-compatible links)
• Application: short-range, high-bandwidth interconnects in rack environments

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding QSFP28 port on your devices and insert until the connector latches. Confirm that both devices recognize the physical link and monitor link status via device management interfaces. Avoid excessive bending or twisting of the cable; route it along cable management channels or tie points to prevent strain on the connectors. For removal, press the connector latch mechanism (if present) before gently withdrawing the cable.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m QSFP28 male-to-male cable for short, direct connections where low latency and compact routing are priorities. Keep the cable within manufacturer-recommended bend radii, ensure clean connector interfaces, and verify compatibility with your QSFP28 ports to maintain optimal 100 Gb performance.
