InfiniBand cable CBO MFA1A00-C010-BO 10 m QSFP28 orange

The BlueOptics InfiniBand cable CBO MFA1A00-C010-BO is a 10 m orange QSFP28-compatible assembly engineered for fixed-length high-speed links between switches, servers and storage systems. Designed for environments that require QSFP28 connectivity, this cable provides a single-cable solution for 100Gbps-class InfiniBand and Ethernet interconnects where a 10 meter reach is needed. The orange jacket and QSFP28 form factor make it easy to identify and install in dense cabling installations.

Advantages

This InfiniBand QSFP28 cable combines a standardized connector form factor with a precisely controlled 10 m length to minimise insertion and routing errors in data centres. It supports high bandwidth transmission with low latency and is suitable for point-to-point connections without additional transceivers or adapters. The robust outer jacket and consistent performance characteristics reduce rework during installation and simplify maintenance in HPC and enterprise network environments.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch high-speed connections in data centres
• High-performance computing (HPC) cluster interconnects requiring QSFP28 ports
• Storage system interconnects and aggregation links
• Racks and cable runs where a 10 meter fixed-length cable is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28-compatible
• Cable length: 10 m
• Jacket colour: orange
• Application: InfiniBand and 100Gbps-class Ethernet interconnects
• Usage scenario: fixed-length direct connection between QSFP28 ports

How to use

Insert the QSFP28-compatible ends into the corresponding QSFP28 ports on your switches, servers or storage devices until they latch securely. Route the cable through cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, keeping the bend radius within manufacturer guidelines. For best signal integrity, avoid kinking the cable and maintain clear separation from large power cables and sources of electromagnetic interference. If replacing an existing link, power down affected equipment following your site procedures, then connect the cable and verify link status through device LEDs and management interfaces.

Usage recommendations

Choose this 10 m QSFP28 cable for short to medium rack-to-rack links in data centres and HPC environments where a durable, colour-coded cable and reliable 100Gbps-class InfiniBand or Ethernet connectivity are required. Verify QSFP28 port compatibility on your equipment and observe proper cable handling to preserve performance and service life.
