BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-QL-BO InfiniBand optický kabel 15 m samec/samec

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-QL-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre active optical cable with SFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed short-reach connectivity in data centers and high-performance computing environments. It implements active transmitter and receiver components at each end to convert electrical signals to optical signals and back, enabling 25 Gbit/s class links over multimode fibre. The cable follows SFP28 form-factor interoperability and is intended for use where reliable, low-latency links between compatible network devices are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides a compact, pre-terminated solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords while maintaining signal integrity over the 15 m link. SFP28 male connectors on both ends ensure direct plug-in compatibility with SFP28 slots, and the integrated optics reduce system insertion loss compared with passive copper alternatives at similar speeds. The multimode design and built-in transmitters/receivers support common 25G protocols for Ethernet and related high-speed interfaces.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25G interconnects between servers and switches in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links
• Connections between compatible storage systems and networking equipment
• Environments where pre-terminated, plug-and-play optical links reduce installation time

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Length: 15 metres
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per lane (25G-class links)
• Media: multimode fibre with integrated optical transmitter and receiver
• Compatibility: SFP28 form factor for devices that support SFP28 AOC modules

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 male connector into the corresponding SFP28 slot on your networking devices until the connector latches. Ensure devices are powered off or follow hot-plugging guidelines of the equipment vendor; after insertion, verify link status in device management interfaces. No additional configuration is required at the cable level beyond device port settings and protocol configuration (for example, enabling 25G operation or selecting the appropriate interface type such as Ethernet or Fibre Channel over Ethernet).

Recommendations

Use this 15 m BlueOptics SFP28 AOC for short-reach interconnects within racks or across adjacent racks in controlled data center environments. Avoid tight bends and abrasion; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode optical fiber and route the cable to prevent mechanical strain on connectors. Confirm device compatibility with SFP28 active optical modules and verify firmware or platform support for 25G links when deploying in production networks.
