BlueOptics SFP-25G-D-AOC-20M-H-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20m SFP28

The BlueOptics SFP-25G-D-AOC-20M-H-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20m SFP28 is a 20‑metre active optical cable with SFP28 connectors designed for high‑speed connectivity in data centre and networking environments. The pre‑assembled AOC uses multimode optical transmission with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each connector, providing a direct SFP28-to‑SFP28 link for transmission rates up to 25 Gbit/s over the 20 m length. The plug‑and‑play form factor eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing potential attenuation from connectors.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact, factory‑terminated solution that supports 25G data rates and InfiniBand applications while reducing electromagnetic interference typical of copper cabling. Built to MSA‑compatible form factor standards for SFP28 interfaces, the AOC delivers a consistent optical connection without on‑site termination or cleaning of patch cords. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support enables real‑time monitoring of optical parameters when the host hardware supports the feature.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 ports on the devices to be connected, ensuring the transceiver latches engage. No external power supply or separate transceivers are required. If the host devices support digital diagnostics, monitoring information such as supply voltage, transmit/receive optical power and temperature can be read through the management interface. Confirm link negotiation and speed settings on both ends after installation and follow the hardware vendor’s instructions for hot‑plugging and port configuration.

Recommendations

Use the cable within the specified 20 m maximum reach in controlled data centre or rack environments, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling forces, and verify host compatibility with SFP28 and DDM/DOM features to ensure optimal performance.
