BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-IB-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-IB-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 10-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed links in data centre and networking environments. It supports 25GBASE-SR4 signalling over multimode fibre with integrated transmitters and receivers in each connector, providing a pre-terminated, low-latency optical connection that eliminates the need for patch cords and manual fibre termination.

Advantages

This SFP28 AOC is fully MSA-compliant and designed for interoperability with hardware that supports SFP28 25G connections. The pre-assembled multimode optical cable removes concerns about electromagnetic interference and reduces maintenance associated with patchcord cleaning and attenuation. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) enable real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, received power and internal temperature, simplifying remote troubleshooting and maintenance.

Suitable for

• High-performance switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections in data centres
• Storage system interconnects and SAN uplinks using 25G speeds
• Short-reach multimode InfiniBand or Ethernet links up to 10 metres
• Environments requiring low-latency, EMI-immune optical links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Length: 10 metres
• Rated data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per cable (25GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Fibre type: multimode with integrated transceiver modules
• Form factor: active optical cable (AOC) with integrated Tx/Rx
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for real-time parameters
• MSA-compliant electrical, mechanical and functional interface
• Compliance: designed to meet common industry standards for safety and RoHS/CE/FCC where applicable

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-IB-BO by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on both connected devices until the latch engages. Ensure the host devices support SFP28 25G AOC modules and, if required, enable DDM/DOM access in the device management interface to view diagnostic measurements. Handle connectors by the housing, avoid touching the optical interfaces, and route the cable to prevent sharp bends and mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this AOC in short-reach multimode links up to 10 m, verify device compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules before deployment, enable digital diagnostics where supported for proactive monitoring, and follow standard data centre cabling practices to avoid excessive bend radii and mechanical strain.
