BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-IX-BO Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 15m conector macho/conector macho

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-IX-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors at both ends designed for high‑speed short‑range links. It implements a transceiver on each end to transmit and receive optical signals over multimode fibre and is built to meet SFP28 form‑factor and MSA compatibility, enabling 25G data rates over a 15 m link. The cable is intended for use in data centre and networking environments where reliable, low‑latency 25G connections are required between SFP28 ports.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC offers a factory‑terminated, plug‑and‑play solution that removes the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing insertion loss and simplifying installation. The integrated transmitter and receiver on each connector deliver consistent optical performance over the 15 m length and support 25G protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet. Its SFP28 to SFP28 configuration ensures straightforward compatibility with devices that accept SFP28 AOC modules following the common MSA pinout and mechanical standards.

Suitable for

• 25G short‑reach server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in data centres
• High‑speed storage networking and Fibre Channel over Ethernet connections
• InfiniBand and other low‑latency networking applications with SFP28 ports

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Length: 15 metres
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per lane (25G operation)
• Optical medium: multimode fibre with integrated active transceiver ends
• Form factor: SFP28 AOC, MSA‑compliant mechanical interface

How to use

Connect the SFP28 plugs into compatible SFP28 ports on network equipment, ensuring the connectors are fully seated and the link LEDs indicate a valid connection. The cable is hot‑pluggable; no additional configuration is normally required beyond device port settings for the intended 25G protocol (Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or other supported protocols). For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid placing excessive strain on the connectors during installation.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short‑reach connections within racks or between adjacent racks. Maintain bend radii recommended for multimode fibre and verify device compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules prior to deployment. For critical environments, test the link performance under expected traffic to confirm 25G operation and interoperability with existing hardware.
