CBO SFP28 Optical Patch Cable BlueOptics MCP2M00-A02AE30L-BL, 3 m, duplex, black boot

CBO BlueOptics MCP2M00-A02AE30L-BL is an SFP28-compatible optical patch cable designed for high-speed 25GbE links and data centre interconnects. The cable is 3 meters long, duplex terminated and fitted with a black boot for strain relief and colour contrast. It is intended to provide low insertion loss and stable optical performance when connecting SFP28 transceivers, switches and servers in rack-mounted and cabinet environments.

Advantages

This duplex optical patch cable supports 25 Gigabit Ethernet applications and is manufactured to ensure consistent optical alignment and low attenuation across the link. The black boot provides strain relief and identification contrast while the duplex configuration allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels in a single cable assembly. Its 3 m length offers flexibility for common rack-to-rack and device-to-device connections without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP28 transceivers in switches and routers
• Connecting servers to top-of-rack switches in data centres
• Patch-panel to transceiver links in telecommunications cabinets
• High-density fiber patching where duplex LC connections are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: duplex LC termination for SFP28-compatible use
• Supported data rate: suitable for 25GbE applications
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Boot colour: black for strain relief and visual identification
• Optical performance: designed for low insertion loss and reliable alignment
• Cable configuration: duplex fiber for transmit and receive channels

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each LC connector with the corresponding SFP28 transceiver port and gently inserting until it clicks in place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it using existing cable management features to prevent strain on the connectors. When disconnecting, pull on the connector body rather than the cable jacket to avoid damaging the fiber or boot. Verify link status on connected equipment after installation to confirm optical continuity and correct polarity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain minimum bend radii and avoid tight loops near connectors. Use appropriate cleaning tools to keep LC endfaces free of dust and contamination prior to connection. Select the 3 m length when working between adjacent racks or equipment within the same cabinet to balance manageability and signal integrity.
