CBO InfiniBand cable SC272701Q3M26 3 m SFP28 black

The CBO InfiniBand cable SC272701Q3M26 3 m SFP28 black is a 3-metre direct-attach cable designed for SFP28 InfiniBand connections. It provides a short-reach physical link suitable for server, switch and storage interconnects where low latency and high throughput are required. The cable is finished in black and intended for use in rack and data centre environments to replace or extend existing InfiniBand links while maintaining signal integrity for high-speed data transfer.

Advantages

This SFP28-compatible InfiniBand cable offers a compact, low-latency connection with consistent transmission characteristics over its 3 m length. The direct-attach design reduces the need for transceivers, simplifies installation and minimizes additional power consumption. Its standard SFP28 interface ensures broad compatibility with equipment that supports SFP28 ports for InfiniBand protocols.

Suitable for

• Short-reach server-to-switch connections in racks
• Switch-to-switch links within data centre rows
• Storage array interconnects requiring low latency
• Upgrading or replacing existing InfiniBand short cables

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 direct-attach
• Cable length: 3 m
• Colour: black
• Application: InfiniBand high-speed links
• Suitable for short-reach, low-latency interconnects

How to use

Power down or follow hot-plug procedures according to your equipment guidelines before connecting. Insert each SFP28 connector firmly into corresponding ports on devices (server, switch or storage). Route the cable within the rack to avoid excessive bending and mechanical stress; secure with cable ties or management panels as required. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm link speed and protocol settings in the host or switch configuration.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and kink points; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use SFP28-compatible ports and follow equipment vendor guidance for hot-plugging and firmware compatibility to ensure reliable InfiniBand operation.
