InfiniBand/fibre optic cable BlueOptics UACC-AOC-SFP28-10M-BO 10m SFP28 Male/Male

The BlueOptics UACC-AOC-SFP28-10M-BO is a 10-meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 male connectors on both ends. Designed for multimode fibre links, this cable implements the SFP28 form factor and supports 25GBASE-SR4 signalling for short-reach high-speed connections. It integrates optical transmitters and receivers in each transceiver housing to transfer optical signals over 10 meters of multimode fibre, providing a factory-assembled alternative to discrete transceivers and patch cords for data centre and networking environments.

Advantages

The cable offers a single-cable solution that combines transceiver and fibre, reducing installation complexity and ensuring connector compatibility with SFP28 ports. By following industry MSA standards for SFP28 interfaces and supporting up to 25 Gbit/s per link, it enables low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects between switches, storage systems and servers. Its 10 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or chassis connections while maintaining a compact, lightweight profile suitable for dense cabling environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 ports on the devices to be connected, ensuring proper orientation and a secure latch. Devices should support SFP28 AOC connections and the 25GBASE-SR4 signalling to establish link negotiation automatically. No separate transceiver installation or patch-cord termination is required; the cable carries both the optical interface and the transceiver electronics. For best results, connect devices with powered and configured network interfaces and verify link status LEDs or management interfaces after insertion.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach links within racks or between adjacent racks; avoid routing through sharp bends or areas with excessive mechanical stress. Confirm compatibility with the target device firmware or vendor compatibility lists when deploying in managed equipment. Store and install the cable following multimode fibre handling guidelines to prevent contamination of connector endfaces and to maintain optimal optical performance.
