BlueOptics 10531-BO InfiniBand-kuituoptinen kaapeli 20 m SFP28 akva

The BlueOptics 10531-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 20 m SFP28 Aqua is a 20-metre active optical cable with SFP28-to-SFP28 male connectors, designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and networking environments. It implements multimode optical links for short-reach, high-throughput connections and is compatible with devices that support SFP28 form-factor active optical cables. The aqua jacket denotes multimode fiber suitable for 25GBASE-SR4 class short-reach applications and multi-lane optical signaling.

Advantages

This 20 m BlueOptics AOC combines plug-and-play simplicity with the signal integrity of factory-terminated fiber, reducing the need for field termination or patch-cord cleaning. The active cable integrates transmitter and receiver electronics in the SFP28 modules to support robust optical signaling and digital diagnostics where supported by host hardware. Manufactured to industry MSA guidelines and populated with proven components, the cable is intended to provide consistent performance for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand deployments requiring SFP28 links
• Storage arrays and SAN interconnects using short-reach multimode optics
• Environments where pre-terminated, low-latency fiber interconnects are preferred

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated SFP28 transceivers
• Length: 20 metres
• Connector: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Medium: Multimode fiber (aqua jacket) suitable for short-reach multimode applications
• Supported link class: 25G class short-reach multimode signaling (SR4-style multimode operation)
• Built-in digital diagnostics support when host hardware implements DDM/DOM per MSA

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 end into compatible SFP28 ports on your switches, servers, or storage devices until the module latches. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the equipment vendor when inserting or removing optical modules. Verify link status in the host equipment management interface; if supported, consult digital diagnostics for real-time parameters such as optical power and temperature. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain bend radius recommended by the manufacturer.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, confirm that connected hardware supports SFP28 AOCs and any DDM/DOM features you intend to use. Avoid repeated flexing and sharp bends; store and handle the aqua multimode AOC according to standard fiber-optic care practices. If interoperability or specific vendor compatibility is required, test the cable in your environment prior to full deployment.
