200 Gbit/s QSFP28 fibre cable

This 6.56 ft Mellanox Technologies cable carries 200 Gbit/s over dual QSFP28 connectors. It suits data-centre links between switches, servers or storage arrays that use the QSFP28 interface. The passive design needs no external power.

Halogen-free LSZH jacket and pull-tab

The black pull-tab eases insertion and removal in dense patch panels. A halogen-free LSZH sheath meets RoHS and reduces toxic smoke if a fire occurs. EMI protection is built into the connector housing. Handle by the tab to avoid contaminating the optical end-faces.

Match port speed and reach before ordering

Confirm both ends support 200 Gbit/s QSFP28 and that 6.56 ft covers the rack distance without slack. Verify the switch or NIC accepts passive copper assemblies rather than active optical modules. Check that 26 AWG fits your cable-management tray bend-radius rules.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the link is running at 200 Gbit/s after connecting the QSFP28 ends?

Check the port statistics on your switch or NIC; a healthy link will show a 200 Gbit/s rate with zero CRC or symbol errors.

The box lists a single 6.56 ft cable with QSFP28 connectors — are any transceivers or breakout modules needed separately?

No; the cable has fixed QSFP28 plugs on both ends and is passive, so no separate transceivers or power supplies are required.

Should I choose the 26 AWG version or a thicker gauge for a 6.56 ft run at 200 Gbit/s?

The 26 AWG construction is specified for this length and data rate; a thicker gauge is not necessary for 6.56 ft.
