BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-2M-AT-BO InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 2m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-2M-AT-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2m Male/Male is a 2-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends. Designed for 25G applications, it provides a pre-assembled multimode fibre link with integrated transmitter and receiver on each end for optical signal transmission. The cable follows MSA SFP28 AOC specifications and is intended for use in data centre and high-speed networking environments where low latency and reliable short-reach connections are required.

Advantages

The cable delivers a factory-assembled optical connection that avoids patching and associated connector cleaning, which reduces insertion loss and simplifies installation. Compliance with SFP28 AOC MSA standards ensures mechanical and electrical interoperability with SFP28 ports supporting 25G data rates. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) enable real-time monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, temperature, laser bias current, and optical power where supported by host hardware. The multimode AOC construction is not sensitive to electromagnetic interference and supports consistent short-reach performance.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25G server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in data centres
• High-performance networking equipment with SFP28 ports
• Storage systems and appliances requiring low-latency optical connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (male/male)
• Length: 2 metres
• Transmission mode: multimode fibre with integrated optical transceivers
• Nominal data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per link
• DDM/DOM support: provides real-time diagnostic parameters when supported by host
• MSA compliance: SFP28 AOC mechanical and electrical interface
• Immunity to electromagnetic interference due to optical transmission

How to use

Insert each SFP28 module end into the corresponding SFP28 port on your devices until the connector latches. Ensure that the host devices support SFP28 AOC modules and the intended 25G transmission mode. Verify link status through the host equipment’s management interface and, if available, monitor DDM/DOM parameters to confirm operating voltage, temperature, optical output and received power. Avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius and do not apply excessive force to the connectors when plugging or unplugging.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-2M-AT-BO in controlled data-centre environments and pair it with hardware that explicitly supports SFP28 AOC modules and 25GBASE-SR4 or equivalent short-reach 25G standards to ensure full compatibility and access to diagnostic functions.
