Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-20M-AT-BO 20 m SFP28 macho

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-20M-AT-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20m SFP28 Male is a 20‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends designed for 25G data links over multimode fibre. The cable implements SFP28-to-SFP28 connectivity according to MSA standards and integrates transceiver electronics at each end to transmit and receive optical signals for high‑speed networking environments such as data centres, switches, routers and storage systems. The product supports common protocols for high‑speed interconnects and is intended as a direct‑attach fibre solution where a pre‑assembled, tested connection is required.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP28 AOC provides a factory‑assembled optical link that eliminates patching and reduces connector handling, thereby lowering insertion loss and simplifying installation. It is produced to MSA SFP28 AOC mechanical and electrical definitions to ensure interoperability with equipment that supports SFP28 active optical modules. The integrated digital diagnostic interface allows real‑time monitoring of key parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and receive power and temperature when supported by host hardware. Manufactured with selected components from established suppliers, the cable is built for long operational life and consistent performance in high‑availability environments.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High‑speed server-to-switch and switch‑to‑switch interconnects in data centres
• Storage area network (SAN) links and storage system connectivity
• Low‑latency InfiniBand or Ethernet 25G links in rack deployments
• Short‑reach multimode fibre runs where a pre‑terminated AOC simplifies cabling

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28
• Length: 20 metres
• Data rate support: up to 25 Gbit/s per lane (25GBASE‑SR4 applications)
• Transmission medium: multimode fibre with integrated optical transceivers
• MSA compliance: SFP28 AOC mechanical and electrical specifications
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring / Digital Optical Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when host hardware provides access

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28‑AOC by inserting each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring the host hardware supports SFP28 AOC modules. No additional patch cords or transceivers are required because the cable is pre‑assembled and contains the necessary optical and electronic components. Verify that the connected equipment recognises the AOC and, if needed, enable or check DDM/DOM parameters through the host system management tools to monitor optical power, voltage and temperature. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends or physical strain on the fibre assembly during deployment.

Recommendations

Use this AOC in short‑reach multimode applications within racks or between adjacent racks where a 20 m pre‑terminated optical link reduces installation time and minimizes connector contamination. Confirm compatibility with your switch or storage vendor documentation for SFP28 AOC support and ensure DDM/DOM features are supported by the host to make use of real‑time diagnostics.
