BlueOptics SFP-25G-AOC25M-BO 25 m SFP28 aktiivinen optinen kaapeli, aqua, uros–uros

BlueOptics SFP-25G-AOC25M-BO is an active optical cable with SFP28 connectors on both ends and a 25 m length, designed for 25 Gbps links in InfiniBand and fiber-optic networking environments. The cable uses integrated transceivers on each connector to transmit and receive multi-mode optical signals, and its aqua-coloured jacket provides visual identification in dense cabling installations. It is intended for high-speed server-to-switch, switch-to-switch and storage interconnects in data centres where 25GBASE-SR4 or equivalent 25 Gbit/s connectivity is required.

Advantages

The active optical design enables reliable 25 Gbit/s links over 25 m while reducing electrical interference and heat compared with copper options. With SFP28-to-SFP28 terminations conforming to common MSA standards, the cable offers straightforward hot-pluggable installation in compatible SFP28 ports. The aqua-coloured jacket and compact, lightweight construction simplify routing and identification in rack and patch-panel environments.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centres requiring 25 Gbit/s throughput
• Switch-to-switch uplinks within a single equipment room or adjacent racks
• Storage system interconnects and SAN links using 25G protocols
• High-density cabling environments where colour-coded cables improve management

Key specifications

• Length: 25 m
• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (male–male)
• Nominal data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Cable type: active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Jacket colour: aqua
• Weight: approx. 0.15 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-25G-AOC25M-BO by inserting each SFP28 module into matching SFP28 ports on the two devices to be connected. Ensure devices support 25G SFP28 modules and verify port settings and firmware compatibility according to the device vendor guidance. Handle the cable by the connector housings when plugging or unplugging, avoid sharp bends and maintain the specified bend radius to preserve optical performance. No external power or separate transceivers are required beyond the SFP28 ports on the connected equipment.

Recommendations

Use this cable in short-reach, high-speed links up to 25 m; keep the cable away from strong sources of mechanical stress and avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius. Verify compatibility with your network devices and consult vendor documentation or diagnostics if link negotiation issues occur.
