BlueOptics ET7302-AOC-20M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP28 20m Male/Male

The BlueOptics ET7302-AOC-20M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP28 20m Male/Male is a 20‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors designed for high‑speed, short‑reach interconnects. It integrates transmitter and receiver modules on both ends and uses multimode fibre to deliver reliable 25G‑class data transmission for data centre, switch‑to‑switch and server‑to‑storage links. The cable follows MSA SFP28 form‑factor guidelines and is intended for use where low latency and consistent signal integrity are required over a 20 m link.

Advantages

The AOC design provides an integrated optical transceiver on each plug, eliminating separate module and patch cable combinations and reducing connector loss. Its multimode construction supports 25GBASE‑SR4 applications and is compatible with equipment platforms that accept SFP28 AOC modules. The fixed 20 m length simplifies planning for rack and row cabling runs while offering the electrical isolation and reduced electromagnetic interference typical of fibre solutions.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics ET7302‑AOC‑20M‑BO by plugging each SFP28 end into the corresponding SFP28 port on your network devices while the devices are powered according to the vendor’s guidelines. No separate transceiver modules or patch cords are required. After insertion, verify link status and transceiver recognition in device management interfaces. For proper operation, ensure compatible port settings (speed, protocol) and firmware support for AOC modules on both connected devices.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short‑reach, high‑density cabling runs inside racks and between adjacent racks. Avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress on the cable, maintain minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer, and keep connectors free of dust. Confirm device compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules and check vendor release notes for interoperability when deploying across different hardware platforms.
