## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) BlueOptics SFP28, model 980-9I53W-00A005, provides 25GBASE-SR connectivity for high-speed Ethernet and InfiniBand links. The 5-meter duplex fiber assembly uses SFP28 form-factor transceivers integrated into a lightweight cable for short-reach data center interconnects, switch-to-switch or server-to-switch links, and low-latency fabric connections.

## Long description

Active Optical Cable BlueOptics 25G SFP28 AOC 5m is a factory-terminated duplex fiber assembly that integrates SFP28 form-factor transceivers into a lightweight 5-metre cable. It supports 25GBASE-SR signaling for high-speed Ethernet and InfiniBand links and is intended for short-reach data center interconnects where low latency and reliable 25 Gbps connectivity are required. The cable delivers full-duplex 25 Gbps performance using multimode fiber optics in a compact, plug-and-play SFP28 interface.
Advantages
The integrated transceivers eliminate the need for separate SFP28 modules and fiber patch cords, reducing installation time and simplifying inventory. The 5 m length provides flexibility for switch-to-switch and server-to-switch runs inside racks or between adjacent racks. The optical medium reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and supports low-latency links suitable for high-performance fabrics and storage networks.
Suitable for
 Data center switch-to-switch short-reach connections
 Server-to-switch links within racks or between adjacent racks
 Low-latency fabric connections for RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) or InfiniBand-like deployments
 High-density patching where space and cable management are important
Key specifications
 Interface: SFP28 form factor, duplex optical
 Data rate: 25 Gbps full duplex
 Optical type: multimode fiber (factory-terminated AOC)
 Cable length: 5 metres
 Application: short-reach Ethernet and InfiniBand links
 Connector type: integrated SFP28 transceivers at both ends
How to use
Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the appropriate SFP28 port on network switches, NICs or host adapters until the latch clicks. Ensure both ends are compatible with 25G SFP28 ports and that port settings on connected devices are configured for 25G operation or autonegotiation where supported. Avoid bending the cable sharply and secure it to cable management fixtures to maintain proper bend radius and minimize stress on the integrated transceivers.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, use this AOC for connections within the same rack or between adjacent racks up to 5 m. Verify device compatibility with vendor documentation before deployment, and ensure proper ESD protection when handling SFP28 connectors. Store and route the cable so the bend radius is maintained and avoid exposing the assembly to excessive heat or mechanical strain.
