BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-SS-BO cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 15m conector/conector

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-SS-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is an active optical cable (AOC) designed for short-reach, high-speed interconnects in data center and networking environments. With SFP28 form-factor connectors on both ends and a 15‑metre multi-mode fibre link, the cable supports up to 25 Gbit/s line rate for protocols that use the SFP28 interface, providing a plug-and-play solution for server, switch and storage interconnections where a compact, low-latency optical link is required.

Advantages

The cable integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules in each SFP28 connector, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and duplex patch cords while reducing space and power compared with discrete optical transceiver plus patch cabling solutions. Its 15 m reach allows flexible rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections in typical data center layouts. Conformance to SFP28/25GBASE-SR4 multi-mode active optical cable conventions ensures compatibility with equipment that supports standard SFP28 AOC interfaces.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25 Gbps connections between switches and top-of-rack servers
• High-density data center interconnects and patching within equipment racks
• Storage and compute cluster links that use SFP28 form-factor ports
• Low-latency InfiniBand or Ethernet applications requiring compact optical cabling

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 Male to SFP28 Male
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated Tx/Rx modules
• Reach: 15 metres
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per lane (25GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Fiber type: multi-mode fibre
• Form factor: SFP28 compliant

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 slot on your network equipment until the latch engages, taking care to align the connector correctly. No additional transceivers or patch cords are required because the optical engines are built into the cable ends. After insertion, verify link status and speed in your switch or host interface diagnostics and confirm that the connected ports are enabled and configured for the intended protocol (Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or InfiniBand as supported by your devices).

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments within the equipment manufacturer’s specified operating temperature and airflow guidelines. Avoid tight bends and strain on the optical cable; maintain the minimum bend radius specified for multi-mode optical assemblies. Validate compatibility with your hardware by checking supported SFP28 AOC modules in the device documentation or by testing a sample before large-scale deployment.
