Cable óptico activo BlueOptics 25G SFP28 AOC 5m para Ethernet/Infiniband (980-9I53W-00A005)

Active Optical Cable BlueOptics 25G SFP28 AOC 5m is a factory-terminated duplex fiber assembly that integrates SFP28 form-factor transceivers into a lightweight 5-metre cable. It supports 25GBASE-SR signaling for high-speed Ethernet and InfiniBand links and is intended for short-reach data center interconnects where low latency and reliable 25 Gbps connectivity are required. The cable delivers full-duplex 25 Gbps performance using multimode fiber optics in a compact, plug-and-play SFP28 interface.

Advantages

The integrated transceivers eliminate the need for separate SFP28 modules and fiber patch cords, reducing installation time and simplifying inventory. The 5 m length provides flexibility for switch-to-switch and server-to-switch runs inside racks or between adjacent racks. The optical medium reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and supports low-latency links suitable for high-performance fabrics and storage networks.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the appropriate SFP28 port on network switches, NICs or host adapters until the latch clicks. Ensure both ends are compatible with 25G SFP28 ports and that port settings on connected devices are configured for 25G operation or autonegotiation where supported. Avoid bending the cable sharply and secure it to cable management fixtures to maintain proper bend radius and minimize stress on the integrated transceivers.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this AOC for connections within the same rack or between adjacent racks up to 5 m. Verify device compatibility with vendor documentation before deployment, and ensure proper ESD protection when handling SFP28 connectors. Store and route the cable so the bend radius is maintained and avoid exposing the assembly to excessive heat or mechanical strain.
