BlueOptics JNP-25G-AOC-30M-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP28 30m Male/Male

The BlueOptics JNP-25G-AOC-30M-BO is a 30 m active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 male connectors at both ends designed for 25GBASE-SR4 class InfiniBand and fiber-optic links. The cable integrates a transmitter and receiver on each end to transmit optical signals over multimode fiber and supports high-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet applications up to 25 Gbit/s across a 30 meter span. The pre-terminated AOC eliminates the need for patch cords and manual connector cleaning, providing a plug-and-play fiber connection for data centers, high-performance computing, and networking hardware that accepts SFP28 AOC modules.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC is manufactured to MSA-compatible specifications and is tested for interoperability with major Juniper platforms that support the original 25G AOC. The cable uses integrated optical transceivers and qualified components to deliver consistent signal quality, reduced insertion loss and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Built-in digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) enable real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and module temperature to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting. The pre-assembled design reduces installation time and minimizes connection errors compared with field-terminated fiber links.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems within data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and server-to-switch links
• Short-reach multimode fiber runs up to 30 meters requiring 25G throughput
• Environments where electromagnetic immunity and low latency are required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per link
• Length: 30 meters
• Fiber type: multimode (MSA SR4-compatible optical transmission)
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM / DOM) per SFF-8472
• Typical use: short-reach high-speed interconnects in racks and data halls

How to use

Install the BlueOptics JNP-25G-AOC-30M-BO by inserting the SFP28 plugs into compatible SFP28 ports on your network devices until they latch. Ensure the host devices support SFP28 AOC modules and, if required, enable DDM/DOM support in the device firmware to access diagnostic parameters. Route the cable to avoid excessive bending and mechanical strain; follow standard data center cable management practices to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent kinking. No additional transceivers or patching is required for operation.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch, router or storage hardware prior to deployment and confirm that the host device firmware supports third-party SFP28 AOCs and DDM/DOM reporting. Maintain proper fiber routing and secure both ends to avoid stress on connectors; do not exceed the recommended minimum bend radius. Use the DDM readings for proactive monitoring and replace the AOC if diagnostic values indicate persistent out-of-range conditions.
