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.

Heaven sent
Size: Jumbo (25-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
My back suddenly decided to show me who's the boss. This reading pillow has been a God send! It is substantial without being too hard, soft enough to be comfortable without being too soft, absolutely no lumps! The outside cover is removable to allow for machine washing and is so soft to the touch. There is a handle on the back that makes it easy to move. This has allowed me to be able to sit upright, much appreciated!

MUST BUY Item for Breastfeeding Moms
Size: Standard (18-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
MUST GET item for breastfeeding moms. It is a soft pillow with a removable washable cover. The material is like a suede, which can make it hot to lean on if you typically feel hot when breastfeeding or sleeping. It allows you to sit up straight while in bed with great support.

It's perfect support.
Size: Extra Back Support (21-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
The best way to describe the super comfy reading pillow is super comfy. I use it to sit up while watching something soothing to my mind on tv and due to its comfyness and softness, it's perfectly just right for my back. The funny thing is within a few minutes I'm knocked out sleep, which is a good thing. It's soft but firm lumbar area and arms feels oh so comfortable. It gives the best sleep quality and less toss and turning. I highly recommend.

Great Size and Comfort
Size: Extra Back Support (21-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
2 months after buying a different reading pillow I felt it was time to buy a different one based on the comfort and support. I found this one listed for a good price. After carefully looking through the listing, I bought the 21" size. On my first night of usage, I was already impressed with the comfort and support vs the reading pillow I had bought 2 months prior. I like how this one has nice support for my neck and head as I'm relaxing on my bed with my laptop and phone. The texture of the filling gives it a very nice combination of cushioning and firmness. The horizontal feature line in the center of the pillow is a nice feature for back and neck support thanks to it giving the pillow some flexibility. As for the arms, their length, width, height, and cushioning are very good for resting my arm while I'm using the wireless mouse with my laptop.
