InfiniBand/optický kábel BlueOptics X66130-5-BL 5 m SFP28

The BlueOptics X66130-5-BL is a 5 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transmission in data centres and networking environments. It is intended to provide reliable, low-latency links between switches, servers and storage devices in high-performance computing and enterprise network setups. The cable supports 25G data rates when used with compatible SFP28 interfaces and follows industry mechanical and electrical connection conventions for SFP28 modules.

Advantages

This 5 m BlueOptics cable offers a simple, robust connection using SFP28 form-factor connectors to enable 25G-class links over short to medium rack distances. The design focuses on compatibility with common hardware platforms that support SFP28 modules and on maintaining signal integrity for low-latency transport. The product is presented as an economical option for point-to-point links in dense rack environments where reliable, direct connections are required.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to switches within racks or between adjacent racks
• Linking servers to top-of-rack or leaf switches
• Attaching storage systems to networking equipment in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency interconnects

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 metres
• Connector type: SFP28 on both ends
• Supported nominal data rate: 25 Gbit/s with compatible SFP28 interfaces
• Cable application: short-reach InfiniBand/fibre optic links in data centre environments
• Typical use: direct attach connections between network, compute and storage hardware

How to use

Install the BlueOptics X66130-5-BL by inserting the SFP28 connectors into corresponding SFP28 ports on your network devices. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the device manufacturer. Verify that both endpoints support 25G operation over SFP28 and that any required firmware or transceiver compatibility settings are applied. After connection, confirm link status and speed on each device and perform any necessary network configuration for the new link.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short to medium rack-level links where passive SFP28-to-SFP28 connections are supported. Avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, maintain proper rack cable management, and confirm device compatibility if advanced features (for example, vendor lock-in checks or specific transceiver EEPROM requirements) are present in your hardware.
