InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics AFBR-8CER10Z-BC 10 m SFP28 Aqua

The BlueOptics AFBR-8CER10Z-BC 10 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP28 connectors provides a reliable physical link for high-speed networking environments. Designed for use with SFP28 ports, this aqua-coloured cable supports short to medium distance connections and is suitable for data centre racks, switches and high-performance computing clusters that require low-latency, high-bandwidth links.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers high data throughput and minimal signal loss thanks to its SFP28-compatible terminations and optical construction. The 10 metre length offers flexible reach between equipment in rack or row deployments. The aqua jacket helps visually identify the cable type in dense cabling environments while the standardized connector interface simplifies installation and replacement.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between SFP28 ports on switches, NICs and transceivers
• Inter-rack links in data centres and server rooms
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand clusters
• Short to medium distance optical backbone connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28-compatible optical connectors
• Length: 10 metres
• Cable colour: aqua
• Gender: male connector ends
• Application: single-mode or multi-mode optical link as appropriate for SFP28 modules (confirm module compatibility before use)

How to use

Identify the required SFP28 ports on your devices and insert the cable connectors fully into the transceiver sockets until they latch. Route the cable along cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and stress on the connectors; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for fibre optic cables. Verify link status on the connected devices and, if necessary, check transceiver and port settings for matching optical parameters.

Recommendations

Handle fibre optic connectors with care: keep connector end faces clean and protected when not in use, avoid touching the ferrule, and use appropriate cleaning tools if contamination is suspected. Confirm that the chosen transceivers and SFP28 ports are compatible with the cable’s optical mode before deployment.
