## Summary description

Direct attach QSFP copper cable from BlueOptics, 3 meters long, 28AWG wiring and 56G aggregate bandwidth designed for Infiniband FDR connections. Intended for short-reach server, switch and storage interconnects where a passive QSFP-to-QSFP link is required. Supports high-density rack cabling and low-latency data center links.

## Long description

BlueOptics QSFP Direct Attach Cable 3 m, 56G Infiniband FDR, 28AWG is a passive copper QSFP-to-QSFP assembly designed for short-reach interconnects in data center environments. At 3 meters length and 28AWG wiring, the cable provides a 56G aggregate bandwidth suited to Infiniband FDR links. It is intended for direct connections between servers, switches and storage devices where a reliable, low-latency, high-density cabling solution is required.
Advantages
The direct attach design eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing component count and insertion loss. With 28AWG conductors and a QSFP form factor, the cable supports compact, high-density rack layouts and simplifies installation in tight spaces. Passive copper construction provides stable signal paths for short distance Infiniband FDR links while keeping power consumption and heat generation lower than active alternatives.
Suitable for
Short-reach server-to-switch and switch-to-switch Infiniband FDR connections
High-density rack cabling and top-of-rack switch interconnects
Direct links between storage arrays and compute nodes requiring low latency
Key specifications
Length: 3 m
Connector type: QSFP to QSFP (direct attach)
Aggregate bandwidth: 56 G
Wire gauge: 28 AWG
Intended protocol: Infiniband FDR
Construction: Passive copper cable
How to use
Ensure both ends of the QSFP ports are powered down or in a safe state before insertion. Align the QSFP connectors with the device ports and insert firmly until the latch engages; verify a secure mechanical connection. After installation, power up the devices and check link status and interface statistics in the device management interface to confirm the Infiniband FDR link is active. For removal, disengage the latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the connector.
Usage recommendations
Use this cable for short-distance connections within the same rack or adjacent racks to maintain expected signal integrity. Avoid tight bends, kinks, and prolonged compression; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius for 28AWG copper cable. For runs longer than the specified 3 m or when active signal conditioning is required, consider optical transceivers or active DAC alternatives.
