BlueOptics XXVAOCBL20M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m SFP28 Aqua

The BlueOptics XXVAOCBL20M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m SFP28 Aqua is a 20 metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28-to-SFP28 male connectors designed for high-speed connections in data centres and high-performance computing environments. It supports 25GBASE-SR4-class transmission over multimode fibre with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end, and includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) functionality for real-time monitoring of power, temperature and laser parameters where supported by host hardware.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC is manufactured to MSA-compliant SFP28 AOC specifications and is compatible with platforms that support the original XXVAOCBL20M 25GBASE-SR4 AOC. The cable combines pre-assembled multimode fibre with integrated optical transceivers to eliminate patching and reduce attenuation related to connectors, lowering maintenance efforts. Components are selected from established optical and IC suppliers to provide extended operational life and high availability. The built-in DDM/DOM interface simplifies remote diagnostics and troubleshooting when host equipment supports this feature.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics XXVAOCBL20M-BO by inserting the SFP28 plugs into compatible SFP28 ports on networking devices, ensuring each connector is fully seated. Verify that the host devices support SFP28 AOCs and, if required, enable or query DDM/DOM status through the device management interface to monitor voltage, temperature, transmit and receive power. The pre-assembled cable requires no additional patching; avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and protect connectors from dust when not in use.

Recommendations

Confirm host hardware compatibility with SFP28 AOCs and enable DDM/DOM support if you need remote diagnostics. Route the 20 m cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress, and store unused ends with protective caps. For critical links, consider testing the AOC in your environment prior to deployment to validate performance and diagnostics integration.
