BlueOptics καλώδιο InfiniBand/οπτικών ινών 20 m SFP28 χρώμα aqua

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 20 m SFP28 Aqua colour is a 20-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28-to-SFP28 male connectors designed for high-speed multimode optical links. It supports 25GBASE-SR4 class transmission and is intended for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections in data center and networking environments. The pre-assembled cable integrates transmitters and receivers on each end to provide a direct optical link without separate transceivers or patching.

Advantages

This 20 m AOC delivers low-latency, EMI-immune optical transmission and removes the need for additional patch cords or field-terminated fiber. Built to MSA SFP28 form-factor conventions, it is compatible with equipment that accepts SFP28 AOC modules and supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time operational parameters such as optical power and temperature. The integrated active components and multimode fiber construction are intended to provide consistent signal performance for short-reach 25 Gbps links.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and storage systems within data centers
• High-bandwidth server-to-switch links requiring SFP28 connectivity
• Short-reach InfiniBand or Ethernet 25 Gbps optical links over multimode fiber

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with multimode fiber
• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Length: 20 metres
• Color: Aqua
• Supported data rate class: 25G (25GBASE-SR4 class short-reach)
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM support (MSA SFF-8472 compliant)

How to use

Install the cable by plugging each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your networking devices until the module latches. Confirm that the host devices support SFP28 AOCs and the 25G class link. Once connected, verify link status and diagnostics through the device management interface to confirm proper optical power levels and temperature readings. No field termination or polishing is required — the pre-assembled AOC is ready for immediate use.

Recommendations

Place the cable in a protected routing path to avoid excessive bending or crushing; follow the device vendor’s guidance for supported AOC modules to ensure compatibility. Verify that the hardware firmware or driver environment recognizes third-party AOCs and enables DDM/DOM to monitor link health. For installations within densely cabled racks, maintain bend radii per multimode fiber recommendations and avoid tight loops to preserve optical performance.
