Network Cable BlueOptics F5-UPG-QSFP28-SR12 QSFP28 100m Blue

The BlueOptics F5-UPG-QSFP28-SR12 QSFP28 100m Blue is a single cable solution for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects in data centers and enterprise network environments. Designed for QSFP28 ports, this 100-meter cable supports 100 Gbps class links and conforms to industry guidance for multi-lane, high-speed copper or active optical interconnects. Its blue jacket improves traceability within dense cabling installations while the construction aims to deliver stable signal transmission and consistent physical handling.

Advantages

This QSFP28 100m cable provides a consistent physical profile for installation in racks and patch panels, reducing mismatches and cable management complexity. The product is engineered to maintain signal integrity over its rated distance and to meet durability expectations for repeated handling during upgrades and reconfiguration. The blue color simplifies identification among multiple runs, and compatibility with QSFP28 interfaces allows use with 100 Gbps switch and server ports where supported.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable between compatible QSFP28 ports on switches, routers or QSFP28-capable network adapters, ensuring secure mating of the connector housings. Route the cable following structured cabling practices to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and secure the cable with appropriate organizers to prevent mechanical stress. Verify link status and speed on connected devices after installation and perform any required firmware or port configuration to enable 100 Gbps operation.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections in controlled data center or telecom rooms. Keep the cable away from sources of excessive heat and sharp edges, and handle connectors by the housing to avoid fiber or contact damage. For mixed-vendor environments, confirm QSFP28 compatibility and any required transceiver or port settings before deployment.
