BlueOptics SFP28-25G-AOC20M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 20 m Aqua

The BlueOptics SFP28-25G-AOC20M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 20 m Aqua is an active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors designed for 25G data links over multimode fibre. The 20 metre aqua-coloured assembly integrates transceivers and a pre-terminated duplex multimode optical cable to provide a single ready-to-use connection between SFP28 ports. It supports 25G high-speed serial applications and is intended for use in data centre networking, storage and server interconnects where compact, low-latency fibre links are required.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AOC offers a plug-and-play SFP28-to-SFP28 solution that eliminates separate transceivers and patch cabling, reducing installation time and potential insertion loss from connector mating. As an active optical cable it includes transmitter and receiver components at each end and supports optical signal transmission over multimode fibre for immunity to electromagnetic interference. Built to MSA-compatible form factor and performance expectations, the product is designed for stable 25G operation across a 20 m reach and provides digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability for remote status and fault analysis.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28 AOC by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your networking equipment until the latch engages. No separate transceivers, patch cords or fibre terminations are required. Ensure both host devices support SFP28 modules and, if monitoring is needed, confirm that the host hardware and firmware expose DDM/DOM information. For initial deployment, verify link negotiation and speed settings on connected devices and check diagnostics if link issues arise.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends or kinks; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius for multimode fibre. Use suitable static-safe procedures when installing in active equipment and confirm compatibility with the target SFP28 ports and firmware. For critical links, use DDM/DOM readings to monitor optical parameters and plan periodic inspections to ensure secure insertion and clean connector interfaces.
