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.

Fave dog toy!
Color: Betty Bigfoot
Great toy! My dog prefers the ball inside which is great for chewing on, bouncing, and playing fetch. Very thick rubber, lasts a good while. The outside cover is pretty tough, but for those who like a challenge it should last a little while. It really depends on how determined and fierce the dog is about chewing! We’ve had 3 of them. We always keep a back up for when one expires!!

Perfect for Heavy Chewers—Huge Hit in Our House!
Color: Aurora Beast
This toy is an absolute favorite in my house! My dogs are usually pretty picky and can destroy most toys within minutes, but this one has seriously impressed me. It’s super durable while still being soft enough for them to carry around and cuddle with. They’re completely obsessed—whether they’re chewing on it, tossing it around, or just walking around proudly with it in their mouths. It keeps them entertained for a long time, which is a huge win. Definitely worth it if you have strong chewers and want something that actually lasts. I’ll be buying more from this line for sure!

SUPERB FOR AGGRESSIVE CHEWERS
Color: Betty Bigfoot
Our Silver Lab, Theo, is a VERY aggressive chewer who loves destroying balls! We bought Barkbox Betty for Theo’s Birthday, and it was almost a week before Theo removed the cover when he discovered the ball inside and he loves it! And it’s tough design seems to be holding up! Eager to figure out if it floats! We will definitely buy this high quality toy again!

Too hard and heavy.
Color: Fowl Play
Very cute idea but my dog was not at all interested. It’s too hard for her to chew on. She didn’t even care enough about it to rip the outside. It’s hard and heavy. I will stick with the non-super chewer bark toys. They don’t last as long, but she loves them.
