Cabo ótico ativo AOC CBO SFP28-AOC-5M 5 m, compatível com Check Point

The AOC SFP28-AOC-5M active optical cable is a 5-meter solution for 25GbE short-reach links, designed for SFP28 ports and compatible with Check Point equipment. This BlueOptics cable uses active optical technology to deliver high-speed connectivity between switches, servers and network appliances, targeting data center interconnects and rack-to-rack connections. The cable provides reduced electromagnetic interference and low latency compared with equivalent copper assemblies while maintaining the form factor and hot-pluggable convenience of SFP28 modules.

Advantages

Active optical construction enables reliable 25GbE transmission over a 5 m distance with lower signal loss and reduced susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. The cable’s SFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with standard SFP28 ports and hot-swap operation, simplifying installation and maintenance. Using optical fibers instead of copper reduces weight and heat generation in dense rack deployments. Compatibility with Check Point devices is intended to support straightforward integration in environments where those appliances are used.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack and leaf-to-spine links requiring 25GbE bandwidth
• Rack-to-rack connections where low latency and EMI immunity are important
• Interconnecting switches, servers and network appliances with SFP28 ports

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28-to-SFP28 active optical cable
• Data rate: 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GbE)
• Length: 5 meters
• Cable type: Active optical fiber (AOC)
• Latency: low latency design suitable for short-reach links
• EMI performance: immune to electromagnetic interference compared to copper
• Form factor: SFP28 hot-pluggable modules at both ends

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the network devices until it latches; ensure ports are powered down or follow your equipment’s hot-swap guidelines if inserting under load. Verify link status using the device management interface and monitor for expected 25GbE speed and link integrity. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends in the cable and ensure that the fiber handles are routed to prevent excessive bending or crushing. Follow the vendor documentation of connected devices for any platform-specific compatibility or firmware considerations.

Recommendations

Use the cable in short-reach data center or enterprise environments where 25GbE throughput, low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference are required. Verify compatibility with your specific Check Point model and switch or server vendor before deployment and keep firmware up to date for optimal interoperability.
