BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-F5-BO InfiniBand-glasvezelkabel 15m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-F5-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15‑metre active optical cable with SFP28 connectors designed for high‑speed short‑reach links. Engineered for multi‑mode fibre transmission, this cable integrates a transmitter and receiver in each connector to deliver reliable 25G data rates over a single assembly. It follows SFP28 form‑factor compatibility and is intended for use in networking and high‑performance computing environments where low latency and consistent throughput are required.

Advantages

This AOC provides predictable electrical and optical behaviour across short distances, reducing electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The integrated transceivers simplify link setup by presenting a single hot‑swappable module at each end, while the SFP28 interface ensures compatibility with equipment that supports SFP28 ports and 25GBASE‑SR4 signalling. The 15 m length balances reach and manageable cable routing in data centre racks and between adjacent equipment rows.

Suitable for

• Inter‑rack connections in data centres
• Server to switch links in high‑performance computing clusters
• Switch to switch short‑reach uplinks supporting 25G speeds
• Storage area network connections requiring low latency

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (multi‑mode)
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per channel
• Nominal length: 15 metres
• Transmission standard: compatible with 25GBASE‑SR4 optical signalling
• Topology: point‑to‑point direct attach with integrated transceivers
• Typical use: short‑reach single‑assembly fibre links for networking equipment

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your devices while both systems are powered on or during a maintenance window. The modules are hot‑swappable and latch into place securely; ensure the connectors click to confirm engagement. Route the 15 m cable to avoid tight bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer of the cable assembly. After physical connection, verify link status LEDs on connected devices and confirm negotiated link speed and protocol in the device management interface.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this AOC in environments that match its short‑reach multimode design: data centre racks, adjacent rows, and equipment within the same room. Avoid exposing the cable to excessive mechanical stress, repeated tight bending, or environments with strong mechanical vibrations. When mixing vendor equipment, confirm that the host devices accept third‑party SFP28 AOCs or enable vendor‑agnostic port settings where applicable.
