Cabo ótico ativo AOC CBO SFP28-AOC-50M 50 m para portas SFP28

BlueOptics AOC SFP28-AOC-50M is a 50 metre active optical cable engineered for SFP28 ports. It provides a single-cable solution for high-speed 25GbE or SFP28-compatible links, converting electrical host interfaces to an optical medium within a compact, hot-pluggable form factor. The cable reduces electromagnetic interference and maintains signal integrity over longer distances than copper, making it suitable for data centre, switch-to-switch and server interconnect scenarios.

Advantages

The active optical cable delivers stable 25Gbps performance with lower weight and power consumption compared to equivalent copper assemblies. Its pre-terminated SFP28 connectors enable plug-and-play installation without additional transceivers or fibre termination. The optical medium minimizes susceptibility to EMI and crosstalk and supports reliable rack-to-rack and in-rack connections at a 50 m range. The single-cable design simplifies cable management and reduces clutter in dense network environments.

Suitable for

• 25GbE switch-to-switch uplinks and inter-switch links
• Server to switch connections in data centres
• Short to medium reach rack-to-rack optical links
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 plug-in modules on both ends
• Rated data rate: up to 25 Gbps per lane (SFP28-compatible)
• Length: 50 metres
• Medium: active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical use: short- to medium-reach data centre interconnect

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting the SFP28 connectors into compatible SFP28 ports on network equipment until the latch engages. No external transceivers, fibre splicing or patch panels are required. Ensure both ends are connected to powered, supported devices and that port settings (speed/auto-negotiation) match the intended 25GbE configuration. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension or tight cable ties to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify device compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules and keep bend radius within the manufacturer's specifications. Use in temperature-controlled rack environments and avoid routing near strong electromagnetic sources despite the cable's reduced EMI susceptibility. Perform link testing after installation to confirm negotiated speed and link stability.
