BlueOptics 9HF30-BO InfiniBand/optický kábel 10 m SFP28 aqua

The BlueOptics 9HF30-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a 10 m active optical cable with SFP28 (Aqua) connectors, designed for 25G data transmission. It features male-to-male SFP28 terminations and supports multi-mode optical transmission for high-speed links in data center and networking environments. The cable implements SFP28-to-SFP28 connectivity and conforms to MSA-based active optical cable design practices to provide reliable optical interconnection over 10 meters.

Advantages

This 10 m BlueOptics AOC provides low-latency, high-throughput optical links without susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. Each end contains optical transmitter and receiver assemblies that handle simultaneous send and receive operations. The design targets compatibility with major networking platforms that accept SFP28 AOCs and supports Ethernet and related high-speed protocols up to 25 Gbit/s per lane over the 10 m length. The assembly is factory-terminated and ready for deployment, reducing on-site fiber handling and connector cleaning.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row interconnects in data centers
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch high-speed connections
• Storage network links and SAN interconnects using SFP28 ports
• Low-latency InfiniBand-style or 25GBASE-SR4 optical links where SFP28 AOC is supported

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors
• Length: 10 meters
• Connector configuration: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per link
• Fiber type: multi-mode optical transmission
• Connector color/identifier: Aqua (industry common color for short-reach multimode optics)
• Digital diagnostics: supports DDM/DOM monitoring when host hardware provides support

How to use

Install the BlueOptics 9HF30-BO by inserting the SFP28 ends into compatible SFP28 host ports on switches, routers, or servers while the devices are powered down or per the equipment manufacturer’s hot-plug guidance. Ensure the host ports accept SFP28 AOCs and that any required firmware or software settings allow use of third‑party AOCs. Once inserted, verify link status via the host device management interface and, if available, read digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) values to confirm optical parameters such as supply voltage, transmit and receive power, and temperature.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Use this AOC in systems that explicitly support SFP28 AOCs or that have been validated with similar AOC modules. If DDM/DOM information is required, confirm that the equipment supports reading diagnostic data from third‑party AOCs.
