BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-50M-AT-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 50 m SFP28 samec

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-50M-AT-BO is a 50-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 male connectors at both ends, designed for 25GBASE-SR4 and InfiniBand interconnects. The cable integrates optical transceivers and a pre-assembled multimode fiber link to provide a factory-terminated, low‑attenuation connection for switches, routers, storage systems and server interconnects. The SFP28 to SFP28 interface follows MSA standards to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with hardware that supports SFP28 AOCs.

Advantages

This 50m active optical cable delivers high-speed 25 Gbit/s data transmission over multimode fiber, with simultaneous transmit and receive channels at each end. As an active, pre-assembled solution it reduces the need for separate transceivers and patching, minimizing signal loss and maintenance related to patchcord cleaning. The integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) provides real‑time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature to support remote troubleshooting. The cable is manufactured to MSA mechanical and electrical specifications and uses high-quality optical and electronic components for extended operational life.

Suitable for

• 25G network uplinks between switches and routers
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects in data centers
• High-performance storage network links and converged Ethernet/FCoE environments
• InfiniBand environments that accept SFP28 AOC modules

Key specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-50M-AT-BO by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your network devices following standard hot‑plug procedures. Ensure the host hardware supports SFP28 AOCs and, if required, enable DDM/DOM monitoring in the device management interface to obtain real‑time diagnostic data. Avoid tight bends and excessive tension on the cable; follow the device manufacturer’s mechanical mounting and handling guidance when routing the cable within racks or across cable trays.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch, router or storage system before deployment and, if possible, test a sample link in your environment to confirm full functionality and DDM support. For long-term performance, route the cable to prevent tight bends and mechanical stress, and keep connectors clean and dust‑free when not plugged in.
