BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-PT-BO InfiniBand/kuitu-kaapeli 15 m uros/uros

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-PT-BO is a 15 m active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for 25G data links over multimode fiber. Built to the SFP28 form factor and MSA-compliant electrical/optical interfaces, this AOC integrates transmitters and receivers at each end to provide a single-cable solution for high-speed InfiniBand and Ethernet class connections in professional environments such as data centers and network racks.

Advantages

This 15 m AOC delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission up to 25 Gbps over a single multimode optical link while eliminating the need for separate transceiver modules and external patch cords. The fixed-length optical cable reduces connector points and potential signal loss, simplifies cabling management in dense racks, and provides electrical isolation between network devices. SFP28 male connectors ensure drop-in compatibility with SFP28 ports that accept AOC modules, enabling straightforward deployment in switches, routers and storage systems that support the SFP28 form factor.

Suitable for

• 25G Ethernet switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links within racks and adjacent racks
• InfiniBand connections and high-performance computing interconnects requiring short-reach optical links
• Top-of-rack to aggregation layer cabling in data centers with multimode fiber infrastructures

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Length: 15 meters
• Connector type: SFP28 male on both ends
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbps per link
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (MMF) for short-reach applications
• Form factor compliance: SFP28 / MSA-compatible electrical and optical interfaces

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors click into place and the device port indicators respond as expected. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required; the integrated optical transceivers handle signal conversion. Verify port configuration and link speed on both devices and confirm the link is active through device management interfaces. For removal, press the port latch or release mechanism, and pull the connector straight out to avoid stress on the cable ends.

Recommendations

Use this AOC within its specified 15 m range and in environments consistent with multimode short-reach deployments. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension, and maintain service loop allowances in racks to prevent strain on the connector ends. Confirm host and switch compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules before installation, and update device firmware if required to ensure proper recognition of third-party AOC modules.
