BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-CI-BO aqua 10m male-male glasvezelkabel

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-CI-BO Aqua 10m Male-Male Fibre Optic Cable is a 10-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 to SFP28 male connectors designed for 25G data transmission over multimode fiber. Manufactured to MSA standards, this aqua-coloured cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end to support 25GBASE-SR4 applications and offers compatibility with equipment that supports SFP28 AOC interfaces. The pre-assembled cable removes the need for patch cords and reduces insertion loss and maintenance associated with traditional fiber patching.

Advantages

The cable provides high-speed 25 Gbps link performance while being immune to electromagnetic interference and suitable for short-range multimode links. Built according to MSA specifications, it offers plug-and-play interoperability with SFP28 ports and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for real-time reporting of supply voltage, laser current, transmit power, receive power and temperature. Components are selected to meet industrial reliability targets and support extended service life and high MTBF figures.

Suitable for

• High-performance data center switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections
• Storage area networks (SAN) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet links
• High-performance computing clusters and rack-to-rack interconnects
• Short-reach 25G multimode links in enterprise and carrier equipment

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 to SFP28 active optical cable
• Length: 10 metres
• Rated speed: up to 25 Gbps (25GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Fiber type: multimode (Aqua jacket)
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for real-time parameters
• MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical interface
• Designed for short-reach multimode connections, plug-and-play operation

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered and configured to accept 25G SFP28 AOC modules and verify link status via device management. Use the host system software or management interface to read DDM/DOM parameters for monitoring and diagnostics. No field termination or patching is required; handle the cable carefully to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, confirm that the target hardware supports third-party SFP28 AOCs and enable any necessary port settings for 25G operation. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, keep connector endfaces and port sockets free of contamination, and periodically check DDM/DOM values for signs of degradation. Store and route the cable in racks and trays to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain.
