BlueOptics JNP-25G-AOC-5M InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP28 5m Male/Male

The BlueOptics JNP-25G-AOC-5M is a 5-meter active optical cable designed for high-speed InfiniBand and Ethernet links using SFP28 form-factor transceivers. This Male-to-Male AOC delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity over a compact, lightweight fiber assembly suitable for data centers, server racks and networking equipment that support SFP28 interfaces. The cable provides electrical isolation and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, while offering the physical flexibility of fiber for short-reach interconnects.

Advantages

This active optical cable supports 25 Gbit/s signaling per lane through SFP28-compatible ports and is optimized for short-reach, high-density installations. Its lightweight construction and thin breakout profile simplify cable management in rack environments. Because it is an optical link, the cable reduces susceptibility to crosstalk and electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity over the full 5 m length. The integrated transceivers eliminate the need for separate SFP28 modules and short patch cords.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and servers with SFP28 ports
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand clusters
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row data center cabling
• Low-latency storage area networks and NVMe over Fabric links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 Male to SFP28 Male
• Length: 5 meters
• Data rate: supports up to 25 Gbit/s per lane (SFP28 compatible)
• Media: active optical cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Operating environment: suitable for typical data center ambient temperatures
• Design: lightweight, low-profile fiber assembly for high-density racks

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible SFP28 ports and that firmware or driver requirements are met by your networking hardware. Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding port until it latches; avoid excessive bending of the cable near the connector to maintain optical performance. The integrated transceivers are hot-pluggable, so the cable can be installed or removed while equipment is powered when supported by the device. Verify link status in your switch or host interface and configure appropriate port settings for the intended link speed and protocols.

Usage recommendations

Avoid tight bends and compressions; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and route the cable to minimize strain on connectors. Use in climate-controlled data center spaces and avoid exposure to liquids or mechanical abrasion. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor for supported SFP28 AOC modules if strict interoperability is required.
