Optical Patch Cable CBO SFP-25G-A7M 25G for Alcatel-Lucent SFP modules, 100 m

Optical Patch Cable CBO SFP-25G-A7M 25G for Alcatel-Lucent SFP modules, 100 m is a multimode optical patch cable designed for 25 gigabit connections between Alcatel‑Lucent compatible SFP 25G modules and network equipment. With a 100 m length it enables flexible placement of switches, transceivers and other devices in data centers and enterprise networks, delivering reliable signal transmission over multimode fiber for high‑speed links.

Advantages

This BlueOptics cable provides stable 25G performance with low insertion loss and consistent multimode fiber characteristics appropriate for short to medium reach links. The product is factory‑terminated and tested to ensure end‑to‑end connectivity, simplifying installation and reducing on‑site termination work. Its standardized SFP‑compatible connectors allow straightforward mating with Alcatel‑Lucent compatible SFP ports and transceivers.

Suitable for

• Connecting 25G SFP transceivers in data center spine and leaf architectures
• Linking switches, routers and servers across racks up to 100 m apart
• Short to medium reach multimode fiber links in enterprise LANs
• Replacing or extending existing optical patch panels and cabling runs

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF)
• Length: 100 m
• Connector type: SFP‑compatible terminations for Alcatel‑Lucent SFP modules
• Polish/finish: factory‑terminated connectors
• Typical insertion loss: low (factory‑tested)
• Usage environment: indoor data center and enterprise cabling

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting the SFP‑compatible connector ends into the corresponding SFP ports on transceivers or switch modules until they click into place. Route the cable along existing cable trays or management channels, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress. Confirm link status on both connected devices and verify the connection using integrated diagnostics or an optical power meter if required. For removal, depress the connector latch before gently withdrawing the cable to prevent damage.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain bend radii above manufacturer recommendations, keep connectors clean and protected when not in use, and use dust caps during handling. When deploying in racks, label both cable ends and follow structured cabling practices to simplify future maintenance and troubleshooting.
