BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-LS-BO Cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 15m connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-LS-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 form-factor connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed links, it implements the 25GBASE-SR4-compatible signal transfer over multimode fibre with integrated transmitter and receiver modules in each connector. The cable is intended for short-reach, high-bandwidth connectivity in networking environments where reliable 25 Gbit/s links are required between SFP28 ports.

Advantages

The AOC design provides an integrated optical transceiver and eliminates the need for separate transceiver modules, which simplifies installation and reduces component count. With SFP28 Male-to-Male connectors and a 15 m length, the cable enables direct, low-latency connections between equipment in racks or across nearby rack aisles. Compatibility with standard SFP28 interfaces ensures straightforward interoperability with devices that support 25GBASE-SR4 signalling on SFP28 ports.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25 Gbit/s links between SFP28 ports in data centres
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections within server rooms
• High-bandwidth InfiniBand or Ethernet interconnects requiring optical transmission
• Environments where integrated AOC assemblies simplify cabling and transceiver management

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 Male to SFP28 Male
• Length: 15 metres
• Transmission rate: compatible with 25 Gbit/s per lane signalling (25GBASE-SR4 class)
• Fibre type: multimode optical fibre (AOC multimode design)
• Form factor: Active Optical Cable with integrated transmitter and receiver
• Typical application: short-reach data centre and networking links

How to use

Ensure both endpoints have free SFP28 ports and that connected devices support 25GBASE-SR4 or compatible 25 Gbit/s SFP28 operation. Insert each SFP28 connector into the appropriate port until it latches, taking care not to force the connector or bend the cable sharply. Verify link status on connected equipment; the cable carries integrated transceivers, so no separate module configuration is required beyond standard port settings. When removing the cable, release the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Avoid tight bending or crushing of the cable along its length and maintain bend radii recommended for multimode AOC assemblies. Use cable management within racks to prevent strain on connectors and to preserve optical performance. Confirm device compatibility with SFP28 AOC solutions and, where possible, test the link in the intended environment before large-scale deployment.
