Fibre optic SFP28 cable TARGUS BlueOptics SFP-25G-50CM-DE-BL 0.5 m, SFP28 male-to-male, black

TARGUS BlueOptics SFP-25G-50CM-DE-BL is a 0.5 m fibre optic patch cable with SFP28 connectors on both ends (male-to-male). It is designed for 25G links and short-reach high-speed connections between SFP28 ports on switches, routers or transceivers. The compact cable offers optical connectivity for data centre interconnects, server uplinks and direct switch-to-switch links, supporting low-latency, high-throughput transmission over a half-metre distance.

Advantages

The cable provides a standardized SFP28-to-SFP28 interface for straightforward integration into MSA-compliant hardware. Its 0.5 m length minimises excess slack in rack and server deployments and helps maintain neat cable management. Designed for 25G applications, the fibre construction delivers immunity to electromagnetic interference and supports stable high-speed optical transmission for short-reach links. The cable’s black jacket and compact form factor suit dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• 25G server uplinks and top-of-rack switch connections
• Short-reach data centre interconnects between adjacent racks
• Switch-to-switch links and uplink ports on routers and transceivers

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 male-to-male (both ends)
• Length: 0.5 m (50 cm)
• Media: fibre optic patch cable
• Designed data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Colour: black
• Application: short-reach high-speed links in data centres and server rooms

How to use

Install the cable by gently inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your switch, router or transceiver until it clicks into place. Ensure transceiver modules and ports are powered down or follow your equipment vendor’s hot-plug guidelines when connecting live equipment. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended by the transceiver or cable manufacturer. Verify link status and negotiate speeds on the connected devices to confirm a stable 25G optical connection.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m fibre optic SFP28 cable for reliable short-distance 25G links where EMI immunity and compact routing are required. For best results, pair with MSA-compliant SFP28 ports and compatible transceivers, avoid excessive bending, and perform link validation after installation.
