Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics MCP1600-C002-BL 2 m QSFP28 macho-macho

The BlueOptics MCP1600-C002-BL InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 2m QSFP28 Male-Male is a 2 metre high-speed interconnect designed for short-reach links in data centres and high-performance computing environments. Featuring QSFP28 connectors and support for 100G-class InfiniBand and Ethernet protocols, this cable provides a direct, low-latency connection between compatible QSFP28 ports. It is suitable for rack-to-rack or within-rack links where reliable 100G connectivity is required.

Advantages

This 2m QSFP28 cable offers low latency and low power consumption typical for passive direct attach solutions. Manufactured to MSA-compliant specifications, it is compatible with major hardware platforms that support QSFP28 direct attach links. The cable uses high-quality components to provide stable signal integrity over the specified distance and is intended for long operational life and reduced maintenance requirements.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G links between switches and routers in racks
• High-performance computing cluster interconnects
• Storage system connectivity and fabric links
• InfiniBand and Ethernet applications up to 100G on 2 m distances

Key specifications

• Cable type: QSFP28 direct attach (passive twinax / copper DAC characteristics for short reach)
• Length: 2 metres
• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Supported data rates: up to 100 Gbit/s per link
• Standards: MSA-compliant QSFP28 interface
• Power consumption: low passive operation (typical passive DAC behaviour)

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the QSFP28 port on the two devices to be linked, ensuring the connector latch engages. Use the cable for direct electrical short-reach connections where both endpoints explicitly support passive QSFP28 direct attach cables. Verify link status and speed in the device management interface and ensure the devices are configured for the chosen protocol (InfiniBand or Ethernet). Remove the cable by releasing the connector latch and withdrawing the plug straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short, fixed links within or between adjacent racks. Confirm device compatibility with QSFP28 passive direct attach cables before deployment and avoid routing the cable where repeated mechanical stress or sharp bends may occur. For longer runs or environments requiring optical isolation, select an active optical cable or fibre-based solution instead.
