Network Cable BlueOptics FN-CABLE-SFP28-3 SFP28 3m Black

The BlueOptics FN-CABLE-SFP28-3 SFP28 3m Black is a high-performance network cable engineered for 25G Ethernet links and other high-bandwidth applications. At 3 meters in length and featuring SFP28 connectors at both ends, the cable provides a factory-terminated solution for direct short-range connections between switches, servers, and storage devices. The black jacket offers mechanical durability and easy identification in rack and cabling installations while maintaining low insertion loss to preserve signal integrity in enterprise and data center environments.

Advantages

This SFP28 cable supports 25 Gigabit per second links with low latency and stable throughput, suitable for demanding network traffic. Its terminated SFP28 interfaces eliminate the need for separate transceivers, reducing points of failure and simplifying deployment. The 3 m length offers flexibility for connections inside racks or across adjacent cabinets, while the robust jacket and connector construction provide reliable mechanical performance over repeated insertions.

Suitable for

• 25G Ethernet links between switches and servers
• Direct-attach connections in data centers and server rooms
• High-bandwidth connections for storage and compute nodes
• Reducing transceiver count in short-reach deployments

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28
• Length: 3 meters
• Supported data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Cable colour: Black
• Form factor: Direct attach cable (factory-terminated)
• Typical use: Short-reach copper interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 plug into the corresponding SFP28 port on network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are compatible with the device vendor's supported port types and that devices are powered down or follow hot-swap procedures as required by the equipment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the recommended bend radius for direct-attach assemblies. After connection, verify link status and speed in the device management interface.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable in short-reach scenarios up to 3 m and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or direct mechanical stress. Confirm device compatibility with SFP28 direct-attach cables and, when possible, test connectivity and performance in a controlled environment before deploying into production.
