BlueOptics SFP28-25G-AOC2M-BO καλώδιο οπτικών ινών InfiniBand 2 m aqua

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-AOC2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2 m Aqua is a 2-metre active optical cable with SFP28 connectors at both ends, designed for 25G data links in networking and data centre environments. The cable implements a multimode optical connection with integrated transmitter and receiver modules in each connector to support high-speed bidirectional data transfer while minimising electromagnetic interference. The aqua outer jacket identifies the multimode fibre type and facilitates cable management in dense installations.

Advantages

This SFP28-AOC delivers a plug-and-play SFP28-to-SFP28 connection for short-reach 25G applications without the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. The integrated optical transceivers and adherence to MSA connector standards ensure mechanical compatibility with SFP28 ports. The active optical design reduces insertion loss compared with long patching runs and is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference, enabling stable throughput and low latency in congested rack environments.

Suitable for

• 25G interconnects between switches and routers in data centres
• Server-to-switch links requiring SFP28 ports
• High-density rack cabling where short, pre-terminated multimode links are needed
• Environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference where fibre is preferred

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (male/male)
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable with multimode fibre
• Length: 2 metres
• Nominal data rate support: 25 Gbit/s
• Jacket colour: Aqua (multimode identification)
• Form factor: Pre-assembled AOC for short-reach links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support SFP28 modules and the target speed (25G). Verify that the ports are powered and enabled in the device firmware or network operating system. If the host supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM), enable or query the monitoring interface to read real‑time parameters such as optical power and temperature where supported by the hardware.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach links within racks or across adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and strain on the cable; follow standard fibre handling practices such as securing the cable with gentle loops and keeping connectors clean when not inserted. Confirm device compatibility and DDM/DOM support before deployment to enable remote diagnostics.
