InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics SC272701Q1M30 1 m SFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics SC272701Q1M30 is a 1 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this single-mode cable supports low-latency connectivity between SFP28 ports in switches, host-channel adapters and storage systems. Its compact 1 metre length helps maintain tidy cable runs in rack and blade server environments while minimizing signal loss over short distances.

Advantages

This BlueOptics fibre optic cable provides stable, low-jitter connections suitable for 25 Gb/s links using SFP28 interfaces. The fixed 1 m length reduces excess slack and improves airflow in equipment racks. Constructed for precision alignment and minimal insertion loss, the cable ensures consistent optical performance and reliable link integrity in demanding data centre and enterprise networking deployments.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP28 ports in switches, routers and servers
• Short to medium reach InfiniBand and Ethernet links
• Data centre top-of-rack and intra-rack cabling
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Length: 1 m
• Cable type: fibre optic (single-mode)
• Supported data rate: suitable for 25 Gb/s links (SFP28)
• Low insertion loss and designed for low-latency transmission

How to use

Ensure both devices support SFP28 interfaces and that ports are powered down or set to hot-pluggable mode per vendor guidance. Align each SFP28 plug with the corresponding port and insert until it seats securely; secure any retention mechanisms if present. After insertion, verify link status and configure network settings as required by your equipment. For removal, follow vendor hot-swap procedures to avoid link disruption.

Recommendations

Route the cable with gentle bends and avoid tight radii to preserve optical performance. Keep connectors covered when not in use to prevent contamination. Use the 1 m length for intra-rack connections to minimize excess cable and maintain optimal airflow in server cabinets.
