InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics MCP2M00-A003E26N 3 m SFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics MCP2M00-A003E26N is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission between networking devices. This cable supports the physical connection needs of modern data centers and high-performance computing clusters where low-latency, high-throughput links are required. Its 3 metre length offers a balance between rack flexibility and signal integrity for mid-distance connections inside equipment cabinets and between adjacent racks.

Advantages

This SFP28-to-SFP28 fibre optic cable provides consistent signal quality and supports high data rates typical for InfiniBand and SR/DR-class interconnects. Being a passive optical assembly with standardized SFP28 terminations, it ensures compatibility with devices that accept SFP28 modules and provides predictable electrical and optical characteristics. The single-cable solution minimizes the number of connectors and adapters, simplifying rack layout and cable management while maintaining performance for demanding network workloads.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing cluster interconnects
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links in data centers
• Storage area network connections requiring low latency
• Network equipment rooms and adjacent rack connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: fibre optic for InfiniBand applications
• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Length: 3 metres
• Intended use: high-speed, low-latency data links
• Compatibility: devices supporting SFP28 optical transceiver interfaces

How to use

Connect each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your networking devices, ensuring the latch engages securely. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for fibre optic assemblies. Verify link status on connected equipment and confirm negotiated data rates and link health via device diagnostics. Handle the connectors by the housings and keep end faces clean to avoid contamination that can degrade optical performance.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in a dust-free environment and use appropriate dust caps when ports are not in use. Avoid tight bundling with power cables and maintain gentle cable paths to preserve optical performance and service life.
