SFP28 optical cable CBO BlueOptics BO272703Q20M 20 m 100G

SFP28 optical cable CBO BlueOptics BO272703Q20M 20 m 100G is a pre-terminated multimode fiber assembly designed for 100G Ethernet links over short to mid-range distances. The 20-meter fiber cable is intended for direct connection between SFP28-compatible transceivers and switches or between server ports and aggregation devices in data centers and enterprise networks. Its factory-terminated connectors and consistent fiber performance simplify installation and reduce link troubleshooting.

Advantages

The cable offers plug-and-play convenience with factory-terminated connectors that reduce installation time and eliminate field termination errors. It supports 100G data rates with stable optical performance suitable for high-density rack environments. The standardized SFP28-compatible termination ensures interoperability with compliant transceivers and active equipment. The 20 m length provides flexibility for routing within cabinets, across aisles, or between adjacent racks while maintaining signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Connecting 100G SFP28 transceivers in data center top-of-rack and end-of-row configurations
• Interconnecting server ports and aggregation switches within the same room
• Short- to mid-range fiber links requiring 100G throughput and low latency
• Network upgrades where pre-terminated multimode fiber reduces deployment time

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28-compatible fiber connectors (factory-terminated)
• Fiber type: multimode fiber designed for 100G optical links
• Cable length: 20 meters
• Supported data rate: 100 Gigabit Ethernet
• Intended use: short- to mid-range intra-building links
• Construction: pre-terminated, ready-to-install assembly for rack and cabinet routing

How to use

Verify that both transceivers and switches support SFP28 100G connections before installation. Route the 20 m cable through cable management pathways, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges to maintain minimum bend radius. Remove dust caps from connectors immediately before insertion and insert the connectors into SFP28 ports until they latch. After connection, confirm link status and perform standard optical tests or diagnostics to verify signal integrity and expected throughput.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable according to manufacturer bend-radius and cleanliness guidelines. Use proper cable management to prevent strain on connectors and avoid exposing fiber endfaces to dust or contaminants. For critical links, perform optical loss or BER testing after installation and periodically during maintenance cycles to ensure continued 100G performance.
