Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics AFBR-8CER15Z-BO 15 m SFP28

The BlueOptics AFBR-8CER15Z-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m SFP28 is a 15-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors designed for high-speed short-reach links. It integrates transmitters and receivers at both ends and uses multimode fiber to carry optical signals according to 25GBASE-SR4 and InfiniBand requirements, providing a factory-terminated male-to-male SFP28 connection for straightforward installation in switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP28 interfaces.

Advantages

This AOC offers a consistent 25 Gbit/s per lane performance over a 15 m multimode link and is compatible with industry-standard SFP28 form-factor ports, allowing direct connection without separate transceivers. It reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and simplifies cabling with a single, pluggable cable assembly that combines transceiver electronics and fiber in one unit.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnects in data center top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• High-bandwidth server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links
• Storage area networks and Fibre Channel over Ethernet connections
• InfiniBand high-performance computing interconnects requiring SFP28 interfaces

Key specifications

• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (male-to-male)
• Data rate: supports up to 25 Gbit/s per lane (25GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Fiber type: multimode fiber
• Active Optical Cable with integrated transmitter and receiver on each end
• Form factor: SFP28 MSA-compliant

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into corresponding SFP28 ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors are oriented correctly and latched. Use the cable to establish a direct, low-latency link between equipment; no separate transceivers or fiber terminations are required. Verify link status indicators on connected devices and confirm supported link speeds in the device firmware or operating system. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid bending the fiber beyond recommended radii to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this 15 m AOC in short-reach multimode environments and ensure both ends are connected to SFP28-capable ports that support 25GBASE-SR4 or equivalent InfiniBand modes. Maintain proper rack routing to prevent sharp bends, and check device compatibility lists or firmware release notes when deploying in vendor-specific hardware platforms.
