BlueOptics 5CMT2-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m SFP28 Aqua

The BlueOptics 5CMT2-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m SFP28 Aqua is a 10-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects. Featuring SFP28 to SFP28 connectors and an aqua-colored multimode jacket, this cable supports 25GBASE-SR4 data rates and integrates transceivers on both ends to transmit and receive optical signals. The pre-assembled AOC construction eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patching, offering a compact, low-latency connection for data center and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC provides reliable 25 Gbps per lane performance over a 10 m multimode link while remaining immune to electromagnetic interference. The cable incorporates active optical transceivers on each end and is manufactured to MSA-compatible specifications for broad hardware interoperability. Built with high-quality laser and IC components, it delivers consistent optical power and supports digital diagnostic monitoring for remote troubleshooting. The pre-terminated design reduces installation time and avoids patch-panel attenuation and connector cleaning.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and server interconnects
• Data center switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links
• Storage systems requiring low-latency optical connections
• Environments needing electromagnetic immunity and stable bandwidth

Key specifications

• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (male-to-male)
• Transmission standard: 25GBASE-SR4 (25 Gbps per channel)
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC), multimode fiber
• Color: Aqua
• Supports simultaneous send and receive via integrated transceivers
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for real-time link parameters
• Designed for data center and enterprise networking hardware compatibility

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 5CMT2-BO by inserting the SFP28 connectors into compatible SFP28 ports on switches, servers or storage devices. Verify that the target hardware supports SFP28 AOCs and, if required, enable or confirm DDM/DOM support in device firmware to access diagnostic readings. The AOC is plug-and-play; avoid bending the cable beyond manufacturer-recommended bend radii and route the cable to prevent sharp kinks or mechanical strain. After insertion, monitor link status via device interfaces and check diagnostic values as needed.

Recommendations

Use the cable in compliant SFP28 ports and maintain proper airflow and cable management in rack environments. Do not exceed recommended bend radius or apply excessive pulling force. For critical links, confirm DDM/DOM reporting is supported by your hardware to enable remote monitoring of voltage, laser current, output/input power and temperature.
