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

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-LO-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors at both ends, designed for high-speed short-reach links in data centres and networking equipment. It implements a transceiver pair integrated with multi-mode fibre to carry optical signals for protocols that support 25 Gbit/s per channel. The cable follows the SFP28 form factor and is compatible with devices that accept SFP28 AOC links, providing a factory-assembled, pre-terminated alternative to separate transceivers and patch cords.

Advantages

This AOC offers a single-cable solution with integrated transmitter and receiver modules, reducing installation time and eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch leads. The 15 m length supports flexible rack-to-rack and row-to-row connections inside data centres while maintaining signal integrity for 25 Gbit/s links. Compatibility with standard SFP28 ports ensures straightforward deployment across switches, storage systems and routers that support SFP28 AOC modules.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25 Gbit/s links in data centres and server rooms
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage arrays within the same facility
• High-density networking environments where pre-terminated cables simplify cabling
• Environments using InfiniBand or Ethernet technologies that support SFP28 form factor

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 to SFP28 active optical cable
• Length: 15 metres
• Data rate: supports 25 Gbit/s per channel
• Optical medium: multi-mode fibre with integrated TX/RX on each end
• Application: short-reach interconnects for Ethernet, InfiniBand and similar protocols
• Connector orientation: Male/Male SFP28

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-LO-BO by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your devices until the latch engages. Ensure both connected devices support SFP28 AOC modules and are configured for the intended protocol and data rate. No additional transceivers or fibre termination is required; the cable is plug-and-play in systems that accept SFP28 AOC modules. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and protect the cable from sharp edges and crushing during routing through racks and cable managers.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility and firmware support before deployment. Route the cable with a minimum bend radius recommended for multi-mode AOC assemblies, keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference sources, and perform link tests after installation to confirm expected throughput and error rates.
