BlueOptics SFP-25G-AOC2M-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 2 m SFP28 aqua

The BlueOptics SFP-25G-AOC2M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 2 m active optical cable with SFP28-to-SFP28 (male-to-male) connectors designed for 25 Gbps data links. Built to MSA SFP28 form-factor and 25GBASE-SR4 signaling, this Aqua-coloured AOC integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules in a pre-assembled multi-mode fiber assembly to provide a direct, plug-and-play connection between SFP28 ports in switches, routers and storage systems.

Advantages

The cable provides low-latency, high-bandwidth links over a short-reach multi-mode connection without the need for separate transceivers or patchcord cleaning. Its active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) susceptibility compared with copper alternatives and supports simultaneous transmit and receive optical channels. Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability enables real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and operating temperature when supported by host hardware.

Suitable for

• Short-reach data center interconnects between SFP28 ports
• High-bandwidth server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet and other 25G protocols requiring active optical links
• Environments where EMI immunity and low latency are required

Key specifications

• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (male-to-male)
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbps per link
• Physical medium: multi-mode active optical cable (AOC)
• Color: Aqua
• DDM/DOM: supported (host hardware dependent)

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the device vendor if connecting under power. Verify link status and negotiate speed on the connected devices. If DDM/DOM monitoring is required, enable or query the diagnostics via the host system management interface, provided the hardware supports these functions.

Recommendations

Use the AOC within recommended port configurations that support SFP28 25GBASE-SR4 signaling. Avoid tight bends and excessive mechanical stress on the cable; maintain clearance from strong heat sources. Confirm host-device compatibility with SFP28 AOCs and ensure firmware or software allows third-party AOC modules and DDM/DOM monitoring where needed.
