InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics MCP2M00-A00AE30N 0.5 m SFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics MCP2M00-A00AE30N 0.5 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP28 Male/Male connectors is a short, high-speed connection cable intended for use in data centre and enterprise networking environments. Designed to support low-latency, high-bandwidth links between switches, servers and storage devices, this 0.5 m fibre cable provides a compact, reliable connection where space and signal integrity are important.

Advantages

This SFP28 Male/Male fibre optic cable offers stable signal transmission and minimal insertion loss over a short link length. The compact 0.5 m form factor reduces cable clutter and simplifies cable management inside racks and server cabinets. Constructed for professional networking use, it delivers consistent performance for high-speed InfiniBand and fibre channels and is compatible with devices that accept standard SFP28 transceivers.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between servers and top-of-rack switches
• Interconnects in dense rack environments and blade enclosures
• High-throughput links for storage arrays and compute nodes
• Low-latency InfiniBand and high-speed Ethernet deployments using SFP28

Key specifications

• Cable type: fibre optic for InfiniBand / SFP28 applications
• Connector type: SFP28 Male to SFP28 Male
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: blue
• Designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency links in data centre environments

How to use

Install by gently inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your network devices until the connector latches. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by your hardware vendor to avoid port negotiation issues. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; keep the 0.5 m length tidy within the rack to maintain airflow and accessibility.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify compatibility with your switch, server or storage vendor and ensure firmware or driver support for SFP28 links. Avoid exceeding the cable's bend radius and protect connectors from dust when not in use. Use this short-length cable where minimal latency and neat cable management are priorities.
