## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) BlueOptics 980-9IA1T-00A003 with SFP28 connectors supports 25GBASE-SR Ethernet and InfiniBand links at 25 Gbps over multimode fiber. The fixed 3-meter assembly provides low-latency, energy-efficient interconnect for switches, servers and storage in data centers and high-performance computing environments.

## Long description

Active Optical Cable BlueOptics 980-9IA1T-00A003 SFP28 AOC 25GBASE-SR is a factory-terminated 3 m multimode fiber assembly with SFP28 connectors designed to transmit 25 Gbps data using the 25GBASE-SR standard. The cable provides a direct, low-latency optical link between SFP28 ports on switches, servers and storage systems, delivering energy-efficient performance for short-reach data center and high-performance computing interconnects.
Advantages
The BlueOptics AOC offers wire-like simplicity with the benefits of optical transmission: immunity to electromagnetic interference, reduced crosstalk and improved signal integrity over copper at equivalent lengths. As a factory-terminated SFP28 assembly, it eliminates connector polishing and field termination, ensuring predictable performance and simplified installation. Low power consumption and compact form factor reduce rack heat and free space in dense deployment scenarios.
Suitable for
 Top-of-rack and end-of-row switch interconnects in data centers
 Server-to-switch links in high-density compute racks
 Storage area network (SAN) and NVMe over Fabrics short-reach connections
 High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links
Key specifications
 Data rate: 25 Gbps per channel compliant with 25GBASE-SR
 Connector type: SFP28 male on both ends
 Length: 3 meters fixed assembly
 Fiber type: multimode fiber optimized for short-reach links
 Transmission medium: active optical cable with integrated transceivers
 Typical use environment: data center and HPC short-reach interconnects
 Features: low latency, EMI immunity and reduced power compared to comparable active copper solutions
How to use
Install the AOC by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your networking equipment until the connector latches. Ensure that devices are powered off or support hot-plugging per vendor guidance before insertion or removal. The cable is pre-terminated and requires no field termination; verify compatibility of the SFP28 ports and enable appropriate link negotiation or fixed configuration on the connected devices according to your switch or server documentation.
Usage recommendations
Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer minimum bend radius for multimode fiber assemblies. Use in-channel management and labeling for easier maintenance in dense racks. Confirm firmware and hardware compatibility of both ends for SFP28 modules to ensure link stability and optimal performance.
