98 ft QSFP Fibre Cable

This Mellanox MC220731V-030 is a 98 ft fibre optic cable with QSFP male connectors on both ends, designed for network device interconnects. It supports data rates up to 56 Gb/s and meets IBTA and IEEE standards for signal integrity. The cable is tested on Mellanox equipment to ensure reliable long-term operation.

Suitable For High-Bandwidth Fabrics

It suits builders linking Mellanox InfiniBand or 10/40/56 GbE adapters across racks where 98 ft reaches both endpoints. Buyers needing copper twinax, shorter reach, or different connector types such as SFP+ should look at other cable families.

56 Gb/s Maximum Data Rate

The single specification that decides fit is the 56 Gb/s supported data rate across the 98 ft fibre run. If your links require higher throughput or a different physical medium, this cable will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How far will a 98 ft fiber run carry a 56 Gb/s link inside my rack?

The cable is rated for up to 56 Gb/s over its full 98 ft length when used with matching QSFP ports.

What standard limits the 56 Gb/s rate on this QSFP-to-QSFP fiber assembly?

The link conforms to IBTA and IEEE specifications that define the 56 Gb/s signalling envelope for QSFP interfaces.

Will the QSFP male ends fit side-by-side in a dense 1U patch panel?

Each end uses a standard QSFP male connector; spacing depends on the panel port pitch, not on the cable itself.
