InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics MCP2M00-A02AE26N 3 m SFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics MCP2M00-A02AE26N 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP28 Male/Male connectors is engineered for high-speed data transmission in demanding networking environments. This 3-metre cable combines fibre optic performance with InfiniBand compatibility and SFP28 terminations on both ends to support low-latency, high-throughput links between switches, servers and host adapters. The cable's blue jacket provides visual identification in dense cable runs while the SFP28 interface ensures compatibility with modern 25Gbps and compatible ports.

Advantages

This cable provides a stable, low-latency connection suitable for data center and HPC applications without introducing active electronics in the link. Its SFP28 Male/Male configuration simplifies direct connections between SFP28-capable transceivers or modules. The 3 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections while maintaining signal integrity over the fibre medium. The durable jacket and connector housings are intended to withstand regular handling and installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP28-equipped switches, servers and network adapters
• Data centre top-of-rack and middle-of-row fibre links
• High-performance computing (HPC) and InfiniBand clusters
• Low-latency storage networking and server interconnects

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: SFP28 Male to SFP28 Male
• Media: fibre optic compatible with InfiniBand links
• Performance class: suitable for 25Gbps and compatible high-speed ports
• Jacket colour: blue for easy identification

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or ports are hot-plug rated before insertion or removal according to your hardware manufacturer's guidance. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension or interference with moving components, and secure it with appropriate cable management to maintain bend radius and airflow in racks.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify compatibility of connected SFP28 ports and transceivers, maintain a minimum bend radius specified by your infrastructure guidelines, and avoid exposure to excessive mechanical stress or contaminants. Regularly inspect connectors for dust and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before connection.
