InfiniBand/kuituoptinen kaapeli BlueOptics MCP1600-E003E26 3 m QSFP28

The BlueOptics MCP1600-E003E26 is a 3 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable equipped with QSFP28 male connectors. It provides a direct connection for high-speed links in server rooms, storage arrays and network switches where low latency and high throughput are required. The cable is intended for short-reach interconnects inside racks and between adjacent racks, combining optical transmission with QSFP28 compatibility to support modern 100 Gb/s class interfaces.

Advantages

This 3 m fibre optic cable offers high data-rate capability with QSFP28 connector design for stable, low-latency transmission. The optical medium reduces electromagnetic interference and enables longer, more reliable links compared with copper alternatives. QSFP28 compatibility ensures interoperability with equipment that supports quad small form-factor pluggable 28 interfaces, while the pre-terminated male connectors simplify installation and reduce termination effort.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting QSFP28 ports on switches and routers within data center racks
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand clusters requiring low-latency links
• Connecting storage arrays and servers for fast data replication and backup
• Short-reach optical links between adjacent racks or within telecom enclosures

Key specifications

• Length: 3 meters
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Media: fibre optic (single-mode or multimode as applicable to equipment)
• Optimized for: 100 Gb/s class interfaces and InfiniBand environments
• Cable color: blue

How to use

Ensure both devices to be connected support QSFP28 ports and are powered down or set to a safe configuration if required by manufacturer procedures. Align the male QSFP28 connectors with the port openings and insert firmly until the connector latch engages. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated speeds. For removal, release the latch mechanism and pull straight out to avoid stressing the fibre. Handle the optical cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends, kinks or excessive pulling force.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach connections inside racks and between adjacent racks; keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines, maintain clean connectors and store unused cables in protective reels or bags to prevent contamination and damage.
