BlueOptics InfiniBand/valokuitukaapeli SFP28 — 25 m, oranssi, AFBR-8CER25Z-BO

BlueOptics InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP28 — 25 m, Orange, AFBR-8CER25Z-BO is an SFP28-to-SFP28 active optical patch cable designed for short-reach high-speed links in data centres and network racks. The cable provides a single 25 m multimode fibre assembly in an orange outer jacket for easy visual identification. It integrates SFP28-compatible transceiver electronics at both ends to support optical signalling for devices that accept SFP28 optical modules.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC offers a lightweight, factory-terminated solution that removes the need for separate transceivers and duplex fibre patching. The integrated design reduces connector loss and installation time while ensuring mechanical compatibility with SFP28 ports. The orange jacket improves cable management and rapid location in dense cabling environments. With a 25 m length and compact SFP28 terminations, the cable is suitable for connecting adjacent racks, switches and storage arrays that require 25G optical interconnects.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25G links between switches and servers within data centres
• Interconnects between storage systems and SAN switches
• Patch connections in rack-to-rack cabling where SFP28 ports are present

Key specifications

• Cable length: 25 m
• Connectors: SFP28 to SFP28 (male-to-male, factory terminated)
• Data rate support: up to 25 Gbit/s per link
• Fibre type: multimode fibre with integrated active optical transceivers
• Colour: Orange (outer jacket)
• Weight: approx. 0.07 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28 AOC by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your network device until the latch engages. Ensure compatible SFP28 ports and firmware support for active optical cables on both ends. Route the cable through your rack management pathways, avoiding sharp bends and stress points; follow standard multimode fibre bend-radius recommendations. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required.

Recommendations

Check device compatibility and supported link rates before deployment. Keep the cable free from kinks and maintain a minimum bend radius as specified for multimode AOCs. Use the orange jacket for visual identification in dense cabling and label both ends if used in larger installations.
