BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-1M-EN-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 1m SFP28 Male

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-1M-EN-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 1 metre active optical cable with SFP28 male connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in data centres and server environments. This cable provides a compact, plug-and-play connection for InfiniBand-capable devices, delivering low-latency, reliable links for short-reach interconnects between switches, network adapters and storage systems.

Advantages

The active optical construction reduces electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with copper alternatives while maintaining signal integrity at high data rates. Its 1 m length offers a tidy, direct connection in dense rack deployments without excess slack. SFP28 form-factor compatibility ensures straightforward hot-plug installation and broad interoperability with equipment supporting SFP28 InfiniBand interfaces.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between servers, switches and host bus adapters in data centres
• High-performance compute clusters and InfiniBand networks
• Short-reach uplinks and cross-connections in rack-mounted equipment
• Storage area networks where low latency and high throughput are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 male on both ends
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 1 metre
• Protocol compatibility: InfiniBand high-speed links
• Use case: short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects

How to use

Ensure both devices support SFP28 InfiniBand ports and are powered down or in a state allowing hot-plug operations per equipment guidelines. Align each SFP28 connector with the port and insert until the latch engages. If supported, devices will negotiate link parameters automatically. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable; leave a small service loop for air flow and maintenance access. Follow device firmware and driver recommendations for optimal link speed and mode configuration.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the cable to avoid tight bend radii and mechanical strain, maintain clean connector interfaces, and verify compatibility with your InfiniBand devices. Use the 1 m length for direct rack-level connections where minimal latency and neat cable management are priorities.
