BlueOptics SFP-25G-D-AOC-7M-H-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7m SFP28 Male

The BlueOptics SFP-25G-D-AOC-7M-H-BO is a 7 meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 25G optical links over multimode fiber. It implements 25GBASE-SR4-compatible transmission and combines transmitter and receiver optics in the cable ends to provide a pre-assembled fiber connection that eliminates patch cords and reduces insertion loss. The cable supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for remote monitoring of voltage, bias current, optical power and temperature where the host hardware supports this feature.

Advantages

This SFP28-to-SFP28 AOC delivers high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity suitable for data center and high-performance computing environments. As a pre-terminated active optical assembly, it avoids the need for separate transceivers and patchcords, reducing installation time and potential points of failure. The AOC is manufactured to MSA-aligned specifications and uses tested optical and electronic components to provide stable performance and long operational life.

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 slot on your networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure both host devices support SFP28 AOC modules and, if DDM/DOM data is required, verify that the hardware reads diagnostics from the cable. No separate transceivers or patchcord cleaning is necessary; handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends near the connectors. Do not force the connector into incompatible slots and follow your equipment vendor’s guidelines for hot-plugging and secure mounting.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this AOC within its specified bend radius, maintain reasonable cable management in racks to avoid stress on connectors, and confirm compatibility with the host platform firmware. If diagnostic telemetry is needed, enable DDM/DOM monitoring in the host management software. Replace the cable if you observe persistent link errors or physical damage to the connector housings or cable jacket.
