Cabo AOC CBO SFP28-AOC-30M 30 m – cabo ótico ativo CBO para ligações SFP28, 30 metros

CBO AOC SFP28-AOC-30M is a 30-meter active optical cable engineered for SFP28 ports. It offers a factory-terminated single-cable link for high-speed serial connections between network devices with SFP28 interfaces. The optical construction reduces electromagnetic interference and supports longer reach than equivalent copper assemblies, making it suitable for data center interconnects and high-performance networking environments that require a 30 m optical link with low latency.

Advantages

The active optical design provides consistent signal integrity over 30 meters while maintaining low insertion loss and reduced EMI compared with copper alternatives. The cable is plug-and-play with SFP28 transceiver form factor on both ends, eliminating the need for separate transceivers or transceiver modules. Its lightweight fiber construction improves cable management and reduces strain on ports, and it supports high data rates typical for SFP28 links.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Switch-to-switch uplinks and spine/leaf architectures
• High-performance computing clusters requiring short-to-medium reach optical links
• Environments where reduced EMI and predictable latency are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 form-factor active optical cable ends
• Cable length: 30 meters
• Media: multimode/mode-preserving active optical fiber (factory-terminated)
• Data rate: compatible with SFP28 high-speed serial interfaces (25 Gbps per lane)
• Latency: low propagation delay suitable for high-performance links
• EMI: minimal electromagnetic interference due to optical transmission
• Physical characteristics: lightweight, flexible jacket for improved routing and port strain reduction

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are fully seated and check link/activity LEDs on the devices to confirm the connection. The AOC is designed as a direct attach optical solution and typically requires no additional configuration beyond standard port settings on the network equipment. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends; follow device vendor guidelines for SFP28 port handling.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, maintain bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum, avoid placing the cable under sustained mechanical stress, and route it away from high-heat sources. Verify compatibility with the target devices’ SFP28 ports and firmware; use the cable in environments with controlled temperature and humidity typical for data center deployment.
