Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-EE-BO 15 m macho/macho

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-EE-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable engineered for high-speed InfiniBand interconnects. It provides a compact, low-latency connection between compatible SFP28 ports and is intended for short to mid-range links inside racks and between adjacent racks in data centres and network equipment rooms. The cable integrates transceivers and optical fibre in a single assembly to simplify installation and reduce the need for separate transceiver modules.

Advantages

This active optical cable supports high data throughput with low power consumption and reduced signal loss compared with long copper alternatives. The integrated design eliminates separate transceiver handling and simplifies cabling management in dense rack environments. Its robust construction and standardized SFP28 connector form factors ensure compatibility with a wide range of SFP28-capable InfiniBand switches and adapters while keeping heat output and electromagnetic interference minimal.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between servers and InfiniBand switches within a rack
• Connections between adjacent racks or short data-centre aisles
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low latency
• Upgrading server interconnects from copper to optical for improved signal integrity

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: SFP28 male on both ends (InfiniBand-compatible form factor)
• Length: 15 metres
• Data link: Designed for high-speed InfiniBand interconnects
• Latency: Low-latency optical transmission suitable for HPC and storage networks
• Power consumption: Low power profile compared with equivalent copper solutions
• EMI behavior: Immunity to electromagnetic interference due to optical transmission

How to use

Ensure both endpoints have compatible SFP28 ports that support active optical cables and that any linked equipment firmware supports the cable type. Before installation, power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by your hardware vendor. Insert each SFP28 connector into the device port until the latch engages; avoid excessive bending of the cable and maintain the minimum recommended bend radius. After connecting, verify link status through the switch or adapter management interface and perform any required link speed or protocol checks.

Recommendations

Use the cable in controlled rack and cabinet environments, avoid routing near sharp edges or heat sources, and respect bend-radius limits. For optimal performance, keep cable lengths appropriate for intended topology (15 m for intra-rack and short inter-rack links) and ensure firmware and driver compatibility on connected devices.
