BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7 m SFP28 Aqua colour 3YWG7-BO

The BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 7 m SFP28 Aqua colour 3YWG7-BO is a 7-metre multimode optical cable with SFP28 connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in networking and data centre environments. It provides a reliable link between InfiniBand or SFP28-enabled devices and is colour-coded aqua for straightforward identification in cable runs. The cable is terminated with male SFP28 connectors at both ends to support direct module-to-module or switch-to-server connections.

Advantages

This 7 m SFP28 fibre optic cable supports the high bandwidth and low latency requirements of InfiniBand and 25GbE environments while maintaining signal integrity over the specified length. The aqua jacket improves visual management in racks and cable trays. With SFP28-compatible terminations on both ends, the cable offers plug-and-play compatibility with SFP28 transceivers and ports and reduces the need for additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP28 ports between switches, routers and servers
• InfiniBand links in compute clusters and high-performance computing (HPC)
• Data centre patching and fibre backbone connections
• Server-to-switch and storage network connections requiring low latency

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7 metres
• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Fibre type: multimode (OM3/OM4 compatibility typical for aqua)
• Jacket colour: aqua for easy identification
• Designed for high-speed data transmission and low latency

How to use

Ensure both endpoints support SFP28 ports and power down or follow hot-plug guidelines for your equipment before insertion. Align each SFP28 connector with the corresponding port and insert until it seats securely; use the latch or release mechanism when removing the cable. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fibre to preserve signal quality. Label both ends as needed for rack documentation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within the specified 7 m length and in environments compliant with fibre handling best practices. Keep connectors clean and covered when not in use, avoid tight bends and mechanical stress, and verify compatibility with SFP28 transceivers and equipment. Regularly inspect and clean endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools to prevent signal loss.
