BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-25M-NG-BO SFP28 actieve optische kabel, 25 m, mintkleur, stekker-stekker

BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-25M-NG-BO is an active optical cable with SFP28 connectors on both ends and a 25 m mint-coloured jacket. Designed for high-speed InfiniBand and Ethernet links, this AOC provides a lightweight, low-power fibre connection for rack-to-rack or switch-to-switch interconnects in data centres and server rooms. The cable integrates transceivers at each end to transmit and receive optical signals over multimode fibre and follows SFP28 form-factor compatibility for use in SFP28 ports.

Advantages

The cable offers a single, integrated solution that eliminates the need for separate transceiver modules and patch cords, reducing component count and simplifying installation. Its active optical design supports high data rates while consuming less power than equivalent electrical copper cables over similar distances. The mint-coloured jacket improves cable identification in dense installations and the 25 m length supports flexible rack-to-rack layouts within server rooms and data centres.

Suitable for

• High-speed 25 Gbit/s Ethernet links between switches
• Server-to-switch interconnects in data centres
• Storage and compute clustering requiring SFP28 ports
• Short-reach multimode fibre connections up to 25 metres

Key specifications

• Cable length: 25 m
• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s
• Jacket colour: mint
• Weight: approximately 0.15 kg

How to use

Ensure both network devices have compatible SFP28 ports and support active optical cables. With devices powered down or in accordance with vendor hot-plug guidance, insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding port until it latches. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the connectors. Power on the devices and verify link status through the equipment LEDs or management interface. If a device requires specific vendor compatibility settings, consult the device documentation to enable the SFP28 AOC.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-reach multimode connections within racks and between adjacent racks. Avoid bending the cable below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, keep connectors clean and protected when not in use, and verify compatibility with your switch or server firmware for best performance.
