BlueOptics R9F96A-BO InfiniBand-kuitu-kaapeli 15 m SFP28 aqua

The BlueOptics R9F96A-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m SFP28 Aqua is a 15 metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed InfiniBand and 25G data links, the cable uses multimode fibre and an integrated transmitter/receiver on each end to support low-latency, high-throughput connections in data centre and networking environments. The aqua jacket provides clear visual identification for cabling runs and easier management in dense installations.

Advantages

The cable provides a factory-assembled optical link that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing insertion loss and simplifying installation. Built to MSA-compliant SFP28 form factor and matched to 25GBASE-SR4 and InfiniBand signalling, this AOC offers consistent performance over its 15 m length and the resilience of fibre against electromagnetic interference. Integrated digital diagnostic capabilities allow monitoring of optical parameters when supported by host hardware.

How to use

Plug each SFP28 connector into a compatible SFP28 port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the latch engages. Use the cable to link switches, routers, servers or storage systems that accept SFP28 AOCs and support the relevant 25G or InfiniBand protocols. Verify host device compatibility with SFP28 AOCs and enable digital diagnostic monitoring in the host OS or management interface if you need real-time optical parameters. Route the aqua cable along cable management trays or racks to avoid sharp bends and stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

Ensure both endpoints explicitly support SFP28 AOC modules and the intended 25G or InfiniBand protocol. Avoid tight bends (follow manufacturer minimum bend radius) and protect connectors from dust when not plugged in. If digital diagnostics are required, confirm the host platform exposes DOM/DDM values for monitoring supply voltage, laser bias, transmit/receive power and temperature.
