BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-2M-EN-BO cavo in fibra ottica InfiniBand 2 m connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-2M-EN-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 2m Male/Male is a 2-meter active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed short-reach interconnects between SFP28 ports. It uses active optical transmission over multimode fiber with integrated transmitter and receiver modules at each end, and is compatible with 25GBASE-SR4 signalling for equipment that supports SFP28 AOC modules. The cable is intended for data center, server and switch connectivity where a compact, plug-and-play optical link is required.

Advantages

The cable provides a compact, low-latency connection with the electrical interface of SFP28 on both ends, enabling up to 25 Gbps data rates over a 2 m active optical link. As an AOC with integrated transceivers, it reduces cable bulk and heat compared with equivalent copper assemblies and simplifies installation by offering hot-pluggable SFP28 form-factor connectors. The 2 m length allows flexible rack-to-rack or chassis-to-chassis connections within common data center layouts.

Suitable for

• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand links requiring short-reach optical connections
• Interconnects between SFP28 ports on switches, routers and servers in data centers
• Storage systems and appliances that accept SFP28 AOC modules for 25G traffic
• Environments where compact, low-power optical cabling is preferred over direct-attach copper

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 to SFP28 active optical cable
• Length: 2 meters
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbps per link (25GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Fiber type: multimode fiber with integrated optical transceivers
• Connector type: Male SFP28 on both ends (hot-pluggable)
• Application: short-reach data center and server interconnects

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the network devices until the module latches. Ensure both ends are fully seated and the devices support SFP28 AOC modules and the 25GBASE-SR4 protocol. No separate power or configuration is typically required for the cable itself; device interfaces may enumerate the link automatically. Verify link status and speed in your switch or server management interface and confirm firmware or driver compatibility if a link is not established.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends near the connectors and maintain the minimum bend radius for multimode AOC assemblies. Confirm device compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules and ensure firmware is up to date for full 25G operation.
