BlueOptics GNX5H-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15 m SFP28 Aqua

The BlueOptics GNX5H-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15 m SFP28 Aqua is a 15 metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 to SFP28 male connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in data centres and networking environments. It implements 25GBASE-SR4 optical signalling over multimode fibre, with integrated transmitters and receivers on each end to support simultaneous send/receive operation. The pre-terminated cable provides a factory-assembled fibre link that avoids field patching and simplifies installation.

Advantages

This AOC offers a pre-assembled multimode fibre connection that is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference and reduces the need for onsite fibre termination and cleaning. It is manufactured to MSA-compatible SFP28 form-factor standards and is tested for compatibility with systems that support the equivalent 25GBASE-SR4 SFP28 AOC. The cable supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time reporting of optical parameters when the host hardware provides support. Components are selected to meet durability and long-term operation expectations for high-availability network links.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics GNX5H-BO by inserting each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 ports on your networking equipment according to the host vendor's hot-plug and handling guidelines. Ensure that the hardware in use officially supports 25GBASE-SR4 SFP28 AOCs and that ports are enabled for the intended protocol (Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, or other supported high-speed protocols). Verify link status and diagnostics via the host management interface if DDM/DOM is available.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch, router or storage hardware before installation; when possible, test a sample in your target environment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension, and sources of mechanical stress. Use the device vendor's instructions to enable and read DDM/DOM parameters for monitoring link health.
