Lenovo QSFP28 Active Fiber Cable

This Lenovo active fiber optic cable uses QSFP28 connectors and measures 3.28 ft. It supports a data transfer rate of 12.50 GB/s for network device connections. The active design helps maintain signal integrity over the cable length.

Replacing Copper Direct-Attach Links

Active fiber replaces passive copper assemblies when the run exceeds passive reach limits or when electromagnetic interference is a concern. The jump is worth it when rack spacing or aisle routing demands the lighter, thinner fiber construction.

Suits Short-Rack Interconnects

This cable suits builders linking switches, servers or storage inside a single rack or adjacent cabinets at 3.28 ft. Buyers needing longer runs, different connector types or higher bandwidth grades should look at other options.

Questions about this item

What QSFP28 port spacing does the 3.28 ft cable require?

The cable uses standard QSFP28 connectors on both ends and fits any switch or NIC with compliant QSFP28 cages spaced for a 3.28 ft reach.

How is the active QSFP28 cable installed, and what step is often missed?

Insert each QSFP28 connector until the latch clicks; the step often missed is removing the protective dust caps before insertion.

When will the active QSFP28 cable need replacement?

Replace the cable if the 12.50 GB/s link shows persistent errors, the latch fails to hold, or the fiber end-faces become contaminated.
