BlueOptics SFP-25G-AOC7M-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 7 m SFP28 stekker

The BlueOptics SFP-25G-AOC7M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 7 m SFP28 Male Male is a 7-metre active optical cable designed for 25 Gbps class connections using SFP28 form-factor interfaces. Engineered for short-reach high-speed links, this cable combines SFP28 male connectors on both ends and optical transmission to provide low latency, electrical isolation and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The product is intended for integration into switches, servers and NICs that accept SFP28 modules and supports data centre and professional networking environments where consistent 25 Gbit/s throughput is required.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers stable 25 Gbps data transfer over a 7 m length while maintaining compact SFP28 connectivity. The fibre construction ensures immunity to electromagnetic interference and allows for electrical isolation between connected devices. With plug-and-play SFP28 male terminations, the cable simplifies deployment and reduces the need for transceivers and additional cabling adapters. The design supports data centre density requirements by using a small form-factor connector and a flexible optical cable that is easier to route in rack environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between SFP28-equipped switches and servers in data centres
• High-speed links between network interface cards (NICs) and top-of-rack switches
• Short-reach InfiniBand and Ethernet connections requiring 25 Gbit/s throughput
• Environments needing low-latency, EMI-immune links (e.g., virtualised infrastructure)

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Length: 7 metres
• Data rate: designed for 25 Gbit/s class links
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Transmission medium: fibre optic with integrated transceivers
• Suitable for short-reach, rack-level interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 male connector into the corresponding SFP28 slots on your network devices until the connectors latch. Ensure that devices are powered down or that hot-plug support is enabled according to your hardware documentation before insertion or removal. Verify link status and network settings on both endpoints after connection. No external transceivers or additional cables are required when using the integrated SFP28 terminations.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent optical attenuation. Use strain relief where appropriate and keep the cable clear of high-heat sources. For best performance, confirm compatibility with the host hardware and firmware; if necessary, consult device documentation for SFP28/AOC interoperability notes.
