AOC Cable BlueOptics UACC-AOC-SFP28-3M-BO SFP28 SFP28 InfiniBand 3m Turquoise

The BlueOptics UACC-AOC-SFP28-3M-BO is a 3 m active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends designed for InfiniBand and 25GBASE-SR4 applications. The turquoise cable delivers optical transmit and receive functions over single fiber strands per direction in accordance with MSA SFP28 mechanical and electrical conventions. The cable supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472 when used with compatible host hardware and is intended for short-reach interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks where low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference are required.

Advantages

The AOC construction provides high bandwidth and low latency while avoiding susceptibility to electromagnetic interference that affects copper links. Built to MSA standards, the cable is compatible with common hardware platforms that accept SFP28 AOC modules and includes components selected for long service life. The integrated DDM/DOM allows real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser current, transmit and receive power and temperature when supported by the connected device.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the SFP28 connector into the SFP28 port of each device until it latches; verify that both devices support SFP28 AOC modules and, if DDM/DOM is required, that the host firmware or operating system can access diagnostic data. Cable routing should avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius for fiber optic assemblies. After installation, confirm link negotiation and data rate on both endpoints and monitor the diagnostic parameters if available.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m BlueOptics AOC for short-distance optical links in data center and network cabinet environments. Avoid repeated tight bending and mechanical stress; store and handle the cable following fiber optic best practices. Ensure connected devices list support for SFP28 AOC modules and, when relying on DDM/DOM, confirm the host platform exposes diagnostic values to your management tools.
