Cabo ótico ativo CBO SFP28-AOC-1M (1 m) para portas SFP28 de 25Gb

CBO SFP28-AOC-1M is a 1-metre active optical cable engineered for 25Gb SFP28 ports. The factory-terminated AOC creates a fixed-length optical link between compatible network devices, offering low-latency signal transmission for short-reach interconnects. Designed for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centres and high-performance networking environments, this cable reduces electrical interference and removes the need for separate optical transceivers.

Advantages

The cable delivers a compact, plug-and-play optical connection that lowers power consumption compared with equivalent copper DAC solutions and reduces rack clutter thanks to its slim, flexible construction. Factory termination ensures consistent signal performance and fast deployment without field termination. The AOC design provides inherent immunity to electromagnetic interference and supports stable 25Gb data rates between SFP28 ports.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Switch-to-switch uplinks within racks and adjacent racks
• High-density network environments requiring short-reach 25Gb links
• Environments where reduced electrical noise and lower power consumption are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 plug-to-plug
• Supported data rate: 25 Gigabit per second
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC), factory-terminated
• Signal latency: low, suitable for short-reach interconnects
• Immunity: resistant to electromagnetic interference
• Flexibility: slim, flexible jacket for high-density routing

How to use

Install by inserting each SFP28 connector into the SFP28 ports of the two devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors are aligned and fully seated. No additional transceivers or field termination are required. After insertion, verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm 25Gb operation in the network equipment configuration. Handle the cable by the connector housings and follow standard ESD precautions when plugging into active equipment.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the AOC for short-reach links within racks or between adjacent racks and avoid sharp bends or excessive tensile stress. Confirm compatibility with the host devices' SFP28 ports and verify that firmware or vendor settings allow operation with factory-terminated AOCs. Store and route the cable to maintain minimum bend radii specified by the vendor and keep connectors covered when not in use to prevent contamination.
