Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics MCP2M00-A004E26L-BL 5 m SFP28 macho-macho

The BlueOptics MCP2M00-A004E26L-BL InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 5 m connection with SFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed links in data centers and high-performance computing environments. The cable supports 25G data rates and follows SFP28 physical interface conventions, providing a compact, low-latency connection option between compatible network devices. It is intended for short-reach connections inside racks or between adjacent racks where SFP28 ports are available.

Advantages

This 5 m SFP28 cable combines a standardized connector format with a cable length suited for typical rack-to-rack or intra-rack runs, enabling straightforward installation and predictable link behavior. The male-to-male SFP28 termination ensures direct compatibility with SFP28 ports on switches, routers and storage systems that support InfiniBand or 25GBase-CR protocols. The cable is produced to meet MSA-related mechanical and electrical requirements and is tested for interoperability on major hardware platforms.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand interconnects
• Data center rack-to-rack or intra-rack 25G connections
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links with SFP28 ports
• Storage system connections that accept SFP28 InfiniBand or 25G signaling

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Length: 5 meters
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbps
• Interface family: SFP28 / InfiniBand / 25GBase-CR signaling
• Cable type: direct attach (short-reach) high-speed cable suitable for copper or active/passive DAC implementations depending on product variant
• Compatibility: Designed for interoperability with major network hardware that supports SFP28 InfiniBand or 25G links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector firmly into the corresponding SFP28 port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the latch engages. Verify that both endpoints support the intended protocol (InfiniBand or 25GBase-CR) and that any port settings or firmware requirements are met. For short-reach direct attach connections, route the cable within racks or between adjacent racks to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain. After physical installation, confirm link status in device management interfaces and run basic connectivity or throughput checks.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-distance high-speed links where SFP28 ports are available and supported by device firmware. Avoid running the cable alongside high-power or high-interference cabling, keep bend radius above the manufacturer’s minimum recommendation, and verify device compatibility for passive DAC operation if applicable. For critical or atypical environments, perform a test installation and link validation before deploying at scale.
