Cabo de fibra ótica InfiniBand BlueOptics SFP28 para SFP28, 25 m, azul

BlueOptics InfiniBand / fibre optic cable SFP28 to SFP28, 25 m, blue is an active optical cable designed for high-speed connections in data centres and enterprise networks. The 25 m cable uses SFP28 male terminations on both ends to connect compatible SFP28 ports, supporting 25 Gbit/s links and providing a blue jacket for easy identification. It is suitable for direct interconnects between switches, storage arrays and servers where short- to mid-range, low-latency optical links are required.

Advantages

The active optical construction reduces electrical interference and enables reliable 25 Gbit/s transmission over 25 m without the need for external transceivers. Male-to-male SFP28 connectors ensure direct compatibility with devices featuring SFP28 slots, while the blue outer jacket aids visual cable management in racks. The cable’s plug-and-play design simplifies installation and minimizes additional hardware.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and routers with SFP28 ports
• Server-to-switch or server-to-storage high-speed links
• Short- to mid-range data centre fibre runs requiring 25 Gbit/s performance
• Environments where colour-coded cabling helps with organisation

Key specifications

• Length: 25 m
• Connector type (end A): SFP28 male
• Connector type (end B): SFP28 male
• Maximum data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Cable colour: blue

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your network devices until the latch engages. Verify link status on connected devices and ensure transceiver ports support 25 Gbit/s active optical cables. Route the cable through appropriate cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and excessive stress; observe manufacturer-recommended bend radius for optical cabling. If necessary, power-cycle or reset the link endpoints after installation to ensure proper negotiation.

Recommendations

Use this cable in environments where 25 Gbit/s performance is required over a 25 m span and where device ports explicitly support SFP28 active optical cables. Avoid tight bends and excessive mechanical strain, keep connectors clean and capped when not in use, and store the cable coiled without kinks. For compatibility, confirm that both endpoints accept SFP28 AOC modules and that firmware or hardware settings permit 25 Gbit/s links.
