InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics MCP1600-E01AE30 2 m QSFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics MCP1600-E01AE30 2 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with QSFP28 Male/Male connectors is designed for high-speed, short-reach interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing environments. This 2-metre cable supports dense, low-latency links between switches, servers and network interface cards that use QSFP28 ports. Its construction focuses on signal integrity and consistent performance for demanding applications where bandwidth and reliability are priorities.

Advantages

This QSFP28 Male/Male fibre optic cable provides a compact and standardized connection format that reduces port congestion and supports high aggregate throughput. The cable’s design minimizes insertion loss and maintains stable optical performance across the link, helping to preserve signal quality over the specified 2 m length. With QSFP28-compatible terminations on both ends, it offers straightforward plug-and-play installation and interoperability with equipment that follows QSFP28 and InfiniBand interface standards.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnects between switches and servers in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Direct attach links for QSFP28 ports on NICs and HBAs
• Low-latency storage networks and SAN interconnects

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 Male on both ends
• Cable length: 2 m
• Application: InfiniBand and compatible high-speed optical links
• Form factor: Direct attach cable suitable for QSFP28 ports
• Performance focus: Low insertion loss and stable optical transmission for short-reach links

How to use

Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 cable by aligning each QSFP28 male connector with the corresponding port on network switches, servers or host adapters and inserting until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that ports and cable routing do not subject the assembly to excessive bending or tension. Verify link status on connected devices and confirm negotiated data rates and link integrity through the host equipment management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends near the connector and route the cable to prevent physical strain. Use this 2 m QSFP28 cable for short-reach connections inside racks or between adjacent racks; evaluate environmental conditions and port compatibility before deployment to ensure proper link operation.
