BlueOptics ASR1-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m SFP28 Orange

The BlueOptics ASR1-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15 m SFP28 Orange is a 15-metre multimode optical connection with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed data transfer in data centres and professional networking environments. The male-to-male configuration and SFP28 interface enable direct connections between compatible switches, servers and storage systems, supporting short-range, high-bandwidth links where space and minimal latency are priorities.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides a standardized SFP28 connection in a 15 m length, facilitating straightforward integration into existing infrastructure that uses SFP28 ports. The multimode optical construction supports high data rates over short distances while the orange jacket provides clear identification for multimode cabling. The male-to-male SFP28 termination ensures compatibility with active SFP28 transceivers and SFP28 ports on networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-range, high-bandwidth links within data centres
• Direct connections between SFP28-capable switches and servers
• Interconnecting storage systems and network appliances with SFP28 ports
• Racks and patch panels requiring a 15 m multimode optical run

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 metres
• Connector type: SFP28 on both ends (male-to-male)
• Optical type: multimode fibre (OM class indicated by orange jacket)
• Intended use: short-range, high-speed data connections in networking environments
• Jacket colour: orange for multimode identification

How to use

Verify that each device supports SFP28 ports and that the installed transceivers or AOC/SFP28 modules are compatible with multimode fibre operation. Route the 15 m cable through rack openings or cable management channels to avoid tight bends or crushing. Insert the SFP28 connectors into the SFP28 ports on each device until they latch, then confirm link status on the connected equipment. If the cable is an active optical cable (AOC) variant, ensure connected devices detect the AOC and report link stability before production use.

Usage recommendations

Avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and protect connectors from dust when not in use. Use the orange multimode cable for short-distance links within the same data centre or rack rows; for longer distances consider single-mode solutions. Confirm device compatibility with SFP28 interfaces and the supported transmission protocol before deployment.
