Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-50M-EN-BO 50 m macho/macho

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-50M-EN-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 50m Male/Male is a 50-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors at both ends, designed for 25G high-speed links over multimode fiber. The cable integrates a transmitter and receiver in each connector to support optical signaling for protocols such as 25GBASE-SR4 and is suitable for use in data center environments where a standardized SFP28 to SFP28 connection is required. It is built to MSA-compliant form factors and to operate across common server, switch and storage platforms that support SFP28 AOC modules.

Advantages

The cable provides low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission up to 25 Gbps per lane across a 50 m multimode link and eliminates the need for separate transceivers plus fiber patch cords by combining transceiver functions in the AOC assembly. Its SFP28 form factor maintains compatibility with SFP28 ports while offering the electrical and optical performance required for InfiniBand and Ethernet use. The integrated design reduces installation complexity and helps maintain signal integrity across the specified distance.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Switch-to-switch aggregation and leaf-spine fabrics
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters using InfiniBand or 25G Ethernet links
• Storage arrays and host connections requiring 25G optical links

Key specifications

• Length: 50 metres
• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Data rate: supports up to 25 Gbps per channel (25GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Optical medium: multimode fiber with integrated active optics
• Form factor: MSA-compliant SFP28 AOC

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your networking devices according to the device manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the devices are powered down or follow hot-swap guidelines provided by the hardware vendor if supported. After insertion, verify link status and speed in the device management interface and confirm that the port operates at the expected 25G mode. No separate transceiver or patch-cord termination is required because the cable contains the optical transceiver components.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, keep it within the specified 50 m maximum length, and use it in equipment that officially supports SFP28 AOC modules and 25GBASE-SR4 signaling. If interoperability with specific switch or storage platforms is critical, validate the cable in a test environment prior to deployment.
