BlueOptics UACC-AOC-SFP28-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 15m SFP28 Male

The BlueOptics UACC-AOC-SFP28-15M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 15-meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 male connectors at both ends. Designed for high-speed links, it supports 25G data rates over multimode fibre and follows MSA-style SFP28 form-factor compatibility. The cable integrates transceiver electronics at each end to convert electrical signals to optical signals and back, enabling short-reach, low-latency connections between compatible network equipment in data centres and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

The AOC design provides a single, factory-terminated solution that eliminates separate transceivers plus patchcords, reducing connector loss and simplifying installation. With SFP28 male connectors and multimode optical transmission it delivers consistent 25G-capable performance over the specified 15 m length while maintaining low power consumption and compact cable routing. Compatibility with devices that support the SFP28/25GBASE-SR4 ecosystem ensures straightforward interoperability when used with matching hardware.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links
• Switch-to-switch uplinks and spine-leaf architectures within 15 m reach
• Storage area networks and Fibre Channel over Ethernet links that operate at up to 25G

Key specifications

• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Length: 15 metres
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbps per link
• Optical medium: multimode fibre
• Designed for short-reach, low-latency data transmission

How to use

Verify that both endpoints support SFP28 modules and the intended 25G or compatible protocol. Power off equipment or use hot-plug-capable ports according to your hardware guidelines, then insert each SFP28 connector into the device port until it seats securely. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, keeping the multimode fibre within its minimum bend radius. After connection, confirm link status and negotiated speed through your switch or server management interface.

Usage recommendations

Use this AOC for short-reach connections up to 15 m in controlled data centre environments. Avoid outdoor exposure, high-tension pulls, or excessive bending. When replacing or adding links, ensure firmware and hardware compatibility with SFP28/25G modules and consult device documentation for supported transceiver listings.
