InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics BO272703Q5M-BO 5 m SFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics BO272703Q5M-BO is a 5 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP28 male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed data transmission in networking and data centre environments. This single cable combines the bandwidth capacity of SFP28 interfaces with the low-latency and long-distance characteristics of fibre optics, providing a reliable physical link between compatible switches, servers, and host bus adapters.

Advantages

The cable delivers stable high-throughput performance while maintaining signal integrity over its 5 m length. Its SFP28 male connectors ensure straightforward hot-pluggable installation into compatible SFP28 ports. The use of fibre optic transmission reduces electromagnetic interference and supports consistent performance in dense rack environments. The cable’s construction focuses on durability and consistent optical alignment to minimise signal loss.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both devices have SFP28-compatible ports and are powered according to manufacturer guidelines before installation. Insert each SFP28 connector into the respective port until it clicks into place; verify optical transceiver compatibility with the host devices. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for fibre optic cables. After installation, check link LEDs or network management interfaces to confirm an active connection and expected link speed.

Recommendations

Handle the fibre optic cable by the connectors and avoid touching the ferrules. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, and keep the cable away from sources of mechanical stress and excessive heat. For optimal performance, maintain clean connector endfaces and follow equipment vendor guidance on compatible transceivers and firmware.
