BlueOptics SFP-25G-AOC1M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m SFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP-25G-AOC1M-BO is a 1 metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for 25G data transmission over multimode fiber. Built to MSA SFP28 form-factor standards, this AOC integrates transmitter and receiver modules in the cable ends to carry optical signals for high-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and similar protocols. The pre-assembled cable provides a plug-and-play connection between SFP28 ports, intended for use in data centers, switches, routers and storage systems that support SFP28 AOC modules.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC offers a compact, factory-terminated solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing insertion points and potential attenuation. Compliance with SFP28 MSA form factor and the active optical design enable low-latency 25G links over 1 metre without susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. The integrated transmitter/receiver architecture and digital diagnostics support simplify installation, monitoring and maintenance when used in compatible hardware.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25G links in racks and blade enclosures
• Interconnects between SFP28 ports on switches, routers and storage arrays
• High-density data centre top-of-rack or spine connections
• Environments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 male to SFP28 male active optical cable
• Length: 1 metre
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per link
• Optical medium: multimode fiber (AOC assembly)
• Supports simultaneous transmit and receive via optical laser modules
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for real-time parameter readout when supported by host hardware

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port until the latch engages; follow the equipment manufacturer’s hot-plug guidelines. Ensure the host devices support SFP28 AOC modules and, if DDM/DOM is required, that the platform exposes diagnostic data. No additional patching or fiber cleaning is required for the factory-terminated AOC; handle connectors by the housing to avoid contamination and inspect ports before insertion.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach interconnects within racks or adjacent racks. Verify platform compatibility with SFP28 AOCs and enable DDM/DOM only if supported by the hardware. Protect the cable from sharp bends and mechanical strain to maintain optical performance and expected service life.
