InfiniBand cable CBO MCP2M00-A02A-BL 3 m SFP28 black

The InfiniBand cable CBO MCP2M00-A02A-BL 3 m SFP28 black is a 3-metre high-speed interconnect compatible with SFP28 ports. Designed for short-reach connections, this cable supports low-latency, high-throughput links between switches, adapters, servers and storage devices. Its black outer jacket and standardized SFP28 terminations make it suitable for organized cabling in data center racks and server rooms where reliable, direct links are required.

Advantages

This SFP28-compatible InfiniBand cable provides predictable signal integrity for short-distance links and reduces latency compared with longer or multiplexed connections. The 3 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or adjacent-rack connections without excess slack. The standardized connector format simplifies installation with compatible network adapters and switches, while the robust jacket protects internal conductors and maintains connection stability in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Server-to-server high-speed links in rack environments
• Switch-to-switch uplinks in data center topologies
• Connections between storage arrays and host adapters
• Short-reach fabrics requiring SFP28-compatible transceivers

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28-compatible terminations
• Length: 3 metres
• Performance: designed for low-latency, high-throughput InfiniBand links
• Casing color: black
• Form factor: cable for direct attach short-reach interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28-compatible connector into the corresponding port on the network switch, adapter or storage device until it latches. Route the cable through the rack to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius for reliable performance. After connecting, verify link status on both endpoints and confirm negotiated speeds and link health through the device management interface.

Usage recommendations

For stable operation, use this 3 m InfiniBand SFP28 cable for short-reach connections within the same rack or adjacent racks. Keep connectors and ports free of dust, avoid kinking the cable, and ensure secure seating to prevent intermittent links. When integrating into a data center fabric, document port mappings and monitor link statistics to detect degradation early.
