The Mellanox DynamiX QSA28 QSFP28 to SFP28 Adapter is a smart, cost-efficient solution designed to maximize flexibility in high-performance data centers. By bridging a quad-lane QSFP28 port with a single-lane SFP28 interface, this adapter enables seamless lane conversion without the need for costly new transceivers or expansive cabling changes. Ideal for environments that demand scalable 100 Gb/s networking with mixed transceiver ecosystems, the QSA28 delivers a smooth, plug-and-play experience that helps you optimize port utilization, simplify deployments, and lower total cost of ownership.

  • Efficient lane conversion — connects a single-lane SFP28 transceiver or SFP28 cable to a quad-lane QSFP28 port, enabling flexible utilization of a high-density 100 Gb/s switch or NIC without replacing your existing SFP28 devices.
  • Broad transceiver compatibility — supports SFP28, SFP+, and standard SFP transceivers and cables, delivering versatile interoperability across multiple vendors and deployments.
  • Cost-effective, space-saving design — avoids the need for replacement of established QSFP28 ports or wholesale port upgrades, delivering a budget-friendly path to higher port density and improved network topology.
  • Plug-and-play simplicity — engineered for straightforward installation with minimal downtime, enabling rapid deployment in data centers, server rooms, and edge locations.
  • Reliable performance for Nx100Gbps networks — designed to work with Nx100Gbps switches and network interfaces, preserving performance while enabling flexible topology and cabling options.

How to install Mellanox DynamiX QSA28 QSFP28 to SFP28 Adapter

  • Power down your switch or network device before installation to prevent any potential electrical issues.
  • Insert the QSA28 adapter into the QSFP28 port on the switch or NIC. Ensure the module is seated firmly and clicks into place.
  • Connect the SFP28 side by inserting a compatible SFP28/SFP+/SFP transceiver, or attach an SFP28-aware copper or fiber cable into the SFP28 receptacles provided by the adapter.
  • Check cabling and transceivers to confirm that all components are properly recognized by the system and that there are no crosstalk or alignment issues.
  • Power up and verify the equipment, then validate link status and data throughput through your management interface to ensure the 1x25G path is correctly mapped to the 4x25G QSFP28 lanes.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the Mellanox DynamiX QSA28 QSFP28 to SFP28 Adapter?

    The QSA28 is a cross-format adapter that enables a single-lane SFP28 transceiver or cable to be connected to a quad-lane QSFP28 port. This provides a cost-efficient way to utilize 100 Gb/s QSFP28 ports by leveraging existing SFP28 devices and cables.

  • Which devices are compatible with the QSA28?

    The adapter is designed for use with Nx100Gbps switches and network interfaces that support QSFP28 ports. It accepts SFP28 transceivers and cables, offering flexibility across multiple vendors and stock of SFP28 components.

  • Do I need any special drivers or software?

    No special drivers are typically required for the QSA28. It is a hardware-level lane-conversion adapter that operates within the standard fabric of the switches and NICs. Always ensure firmware and device drivers on the host are up to date for optimal compatibility.

  • Can I hot-swap the adapter?

    Hot-swapping capabilities depend on your specific switch model and PCIe/NIC configuration. In most standard data-center deployments, it is recommended to power down the chassis or device before removing or installing adapters to avoid unintended interruptions.

  • What are the main benefits of using the QSA28?

    The QSA28 delivers significant benefits, including lower capital expenditure by leveraging existing SFP28 transceivers, higher port density by enabling flexible lane usage, and simplified cable management in a mixed-technology environment. It enables a scalable path to 100 Gb/s networks without ripping out current SFP28 hardware.

Perfect, it fits like a glove.
Color: 1-Navy Blue
I really liked the sleeve, the navy blue color looks very elegant and the material feels resistant but soft to the touch. What I like the most is that the back is translucent, so you still see the design of the tablet. It works great for watching videos because it stands firm when folding it, and turning off the screen alone when closing it is very practical. Because of the price it has, the quality is excellent.

Great Protective Case for My Mother’s iPad
Color: 2-Watermelon Red, Color: 2-Watermelon Red
I bought this case along with my mother’s new iPad, and it was the perfect choice. The watermelon red color looks beautiful with the pink iPad and gives it a very clean and stylish look. The case feels sturdy without adding too much weight, which makes it comfortable for her to carry around and use every day. The stand feature works really well for watching videos, reading, and video calls. I also like that the case supports the auto wake and sleep function, which makes the iPad feel even more convenient and easy to use. The cutouts fit perfectly, and Touch ID still works without any issues. The translucent back is a nice touch because it still lets the iPad color show through while keeping it protected from scratches and bumps. Overall, this case exceeded expectations and makes a great addition for anyone wanting both protection and style for their iPad.

Good product. What you see is what you get.
Color: 1-Navy Blue
Material feels sturdy and was a perfect fit compatible for my iPad. There's adequate grip and padding for a comfortable yet slim feel. Magnets hold it close and in one position when propping it up for watching landscape videos. Back is translucent as advertised. Solid product, put it on as i opened my new ipad for immediate protection. Perfectly safe blind buy if you're also getting that 'frequently bought together' suggestion from Amazon.
