InfiniBand/fibre optic cable NVIDIA Mellanox MCP1600-E005E26 QSFP28 male–male 5 m

NVIDIA Mellanox MCP1600-E005E26 QSFP28 male–male 5 m is an InfiniBand/fibre optic cable designed to provide a direct high-speed optical link between QSFP28 ports on switches, adapters and servers. With a 5 m length and QSFP28 terminations on both ends, this cable is intended for short-reach connections in datacenter fabrics, HPC clusters and storage networking where low latency and high throughput are required.

Advantages

This QSFP28 fibre optic cable supports high-speed data interconnects suitable for modern 100Gb/s environments and is compatible with devices that accept QSFP28 male connectors. The product is engineered for datacenter use, delivering a compact, single-cable solution for direct optical links. Manufactured to meet vendor expectations, it offers consistent out-of-the-box performance and durability for repeated installation and removal cycles.

Suitable for

• Short-reach uplinks between switches and routers in datacenters
• Interconnections between servers and adapters in HPC clusters
• High-performance storage network links requiring low latency
• Environments that need standardized QSFP28 optical connectivity

Key specifications

• Cable type: InfiniBand / fibre optic
• Connector type: QSFP28 male — QSFP28 male
• Length: 5 metres
• Designed use: Short-reach optical interconnects for datacenter and HPC

How to use

Connect each QSFP28 male end to compatible QSFP28 ports on network switches, adapters or servers. Ensure ports are powered down or that hot-plug procedures recommended by the host hardware are followed if required. Verify link status through host system diagnostics or management software after insertion. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain on connectors; maintain appropriate bend radius per vendor guidance.
