Network Cable BlueOptics FN-CABLE-QSFP28-50CM QSFP28 50cm Blue

The BlueOptics FN-CABLE-QSFP28-50CM QSFP28 50cm Blue is a short-reach network cable engineered for high-speed data transmission between QSFP28 ports. With a 50 cm length and QSFP28 terminations, this cable is intended for direct connections inside racks or between adjacent devices where low latency and stable throughput are required. The construction and connector compatibility support modern 100GbE and other high-bandwidth networking environments while maintaining signal integrity for short-distance links.

Advantages

This QSFP28 cable provides reliable high-bandwidth connectivity with a compact 50 cm length that reduces clutter in dense rack environments. The cable’s termination and shielding are designed to preserve signal quality for short-reach links, helping to minimize errors and retransmissions. Its standardized QSFP28 connector form factor ensures compatibility with equipment that supports direct-attach copper or passive QSFP28 interconnects, offering a simple solution for point-to-point connections without additional transceivers.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, routers, and servers within the same rack
• Short-distance 100 Gigabit Ethernet links and other high-bandwidth links using QSFP28 ports
• Data center top-of-rack and aggregation layer cabling where minimal cable length is required
• Lab and testing environments requiring repeatable, low-latency connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: QSFP28 direct-attach style, short-reach copper
• Length: 50 cm
• Connector type: QSFP28 on both ends
• Color: Blue
• Application: High-bandwidth, short-distance network interconnects (e.g., 100GbE)

How to use

Connect each QSFP28 connector to the corresponding QSFP28 port on your networking devices, ensuring the latch engages for a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive twisting; maintain the specified minimum bend radius to preserve signal integrity. For best results, use this cable for direct, short-distance links where devices are located in close proximity, and verify link status on connected equipment after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use this 50 cm QSFP28 cable for point-to-point connections inside racks or between adjacent units. Avoid running the cable alongside high-power electrical lines to reduce potential interference and inspect connectors periodically for debris or damage before insertion.
