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

BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-25M-NK-BO is an active optical cable with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 25 m links. The cable provides a mint-coloured jacket and a lightweight build (approximately 0.15 kg), delivering a plug-and-play optical connection for equipment with SFP28 ports. It implements active transceivers on each end to convert electrical signals to optical and back, supporting high-speed protocols over multimode fiber for server, switch and storage interconnects in data centers and HPC environments.

Advantages

This active optical cable supports 25 Gbit/s links with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The SFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with devices that accept SFP28 modules and MSA-compliant AOC solutions. The mint-coloured jacket aids visual identification in dense cable environments while the integrated transmitter and receiver on each end simplify installation and remove the need for separate transceivers.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and storage area networks
• Short-reach 25G Ethernet and related fiber channel applications
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth optical links

Key specifications

• Cable length: 25 m
• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28
• Nominal data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s
• Physical weight: 0.15 kg
• Jacket colour: mint
• Multimode fiber with integrated active transmitter and receiver

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28 active optical cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on network equipment until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered off or follow hot-plug guidelines from the device manufacturer. The cable is bidirectional and requires no additional configuration beyond ensuring the connected ports are configured for the desired protocol and speed. Verify link status indicators on the devices and confirm end-to-end connectivity using network management tools or simple ping tests.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius; avoid mechanical stress or sharp kinks. Keep the mint-coloured jacket clean and protected from abrasive surfaces. Use in environments within the supported temperature and humidity ranges of the connected equipment, and validate compatibility with your specific SFP28 ports or vendor platforms before deployment.
