InfiniBand-kuitukaapeli BlueOptics 7Z57A03563 5 m QSFP28

The BlueOptics 7Z57A03563 5 m cable is an InfiniBand/fibre optic link with QSFP28 connectors on both ends. It is built for high-speed data transfer between switches, servers and network appliances in data centres and high-performance computing clusters. The cable combines multimode optical transmission characteristics with a length of 5 metres to provide low-latency, high-throughput connections where space and routing convenience are required.

Advantages

This QSFP28 fibre optic cable supports high aggregate bandwidth suitable for 100GbE or InfiniBand HDR/EDR environments and is engineered for consistent signal integrity over short-reach links. The connector housing and fibre jacketing are designed to resist common office and rack-mount wear, ensuring stable performance and long service life. Its standardized QSFP28 interfaces enable straightforward interoperability with compatible transceivers and ports.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between servers and top-of-rack switches
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Data centre uplinks and switch-to-switch connections
• Short-reach optical links where 5 metre cable length is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: fibre optic for InfiniBand/QSFP28 applications
• Connector type: QSFP28 on both ends
• Length: 5 metres
• Transmission: multimode optical, designed for high-bandwidth short-reach links
• Typical use: 100GbE and InfiniBand high-speed interconnects

How to use

Route the fibre optic cable carefully through rack channels or cable managers to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. Align the QSFP28 connectors with the corresponding ports on devices and insert until the connector latch engages; confirm a secure fit and check link status indicators on connected equipment. For removal, release the connector latch before pulling the plug to prevent damage. Observe system documentation for port mapping and link configuration to ensure optimal operation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fibre optic cable to avoid crushing and tight bends; maintain minimum bend radius specified by the fibre type. Use cable managers and labels for organised routing in racks. Verify compatibility with host ports and transceivers before deployment, and perform link tests after installation to confirm expected throughput and signal quality.
