BlueOptics ASR2-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 20 m SFP28 Orange

The BlueOptics ASR2-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 20 m SFP28 Orange is a 20-metre multimode fibre connection with SFP28-compatible male connectors at both ends. Designed for high-throughput environments, this orange-coloured cable supports InfiniBand and other high-speed networking interfaces, offering a durable optical link for racks, switches and servers in data centers and enterprise networks.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers consistent high-speed data transfer and low latency suitable for demanding network environments. The SFP28-compatible connectors ensure compatibility with modern 25GbE and InfiniBand ports while the 20-metre length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack and intra-rack cabling. The cable’s orange jacket helps with colour-coded cable management and visual identification in dense cabling environments.

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector firmly into the corresponding SFP28 port on network switches, host adapters or servers. Ensure that transceivers or ports are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the equipment vendor if applicable. Route the cable through cable management trays or ties to avoid sharp bends and to maintain minimum bend radius; secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. Verify link status and correct speed/duplex settings through the network equipment management interface after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid tight bends and excessive tensile stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Use colour-coded routing and labeling when deploying multiple cables to simplify maintenance. When connecting across different equipment, confirm SFP28 compatibility and firmware support on both ends to ensure full throughput and correct link negotiation.
