BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-IB-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 15 m macho/macho

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-IB-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable with SFP28 connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed short-reach links, this AOC integrates optical transmitters and receivers in the SFP28 housings and uses multimode fibre to support high-bandwidth protocols up to 25 Gbit/s over a 15 m channel. The cable follows SFP28 form-factor and MSA-aligned connection conventions for compatibility with networking and server equipment that accept SFP28 AOC modules.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP28 active optical cable provides a compact, low-latency connection with inherent electrical isolation and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The SFP28-to-SFP28 design simplifies installation and hot-swap replacement in data center topologies. By using multimode fibre and integrated transceiver electronics, the cable delivers consistent 25G data throughput across a fixed 15 m link while eliminating the need for separate transceiver modules plus patch cords.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and top-of-rack equipment in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters requiring short-reach 25G links
• Server-to-storage and switch-to-switch connections in dense rack environments
• Environments where reduced EMI and electrical isolation are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 male on both ends
• Length: 15 metres
• Transmission medium: multimode fibre (active optical cable)
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s
• Form factor: SFP28 AOC, MSA-aligned
• Application protocols: Ethernet and related high-speed protocols (e.g., Fibre Channel over Ethernet)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-IB-BO by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that the devices are powered according to their manufacturer instructions. The AOC is plug-and-play in systems that accept SFP28 AOCs; no separate transceiver or patch cable assembly is required. Verify link status and negotiated speed via the device management interface after installation.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short-reach 25G interconnects within racks and between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the cable assembly; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on the SFP28 housings. Confirm device compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules and test the link in your environment prior to deployment in production.
