Cabo ótico ativo CBO SFP28-AOC-20M-LS-BO 20 m cabo de ligação SFP28 para 25GbE

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP28-AOC-20M-LS-BO is a 20 m SFP28 link cable designed for 25GbE networks. The cable integrates SFP28 transceivers and a fiber optic link in a single plug-and-play assembly to connect switches, servers and storage in data center and enterprise environments. It delivers optical transmission with low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, while keeping a compact footprint and simplified installation compared with separate transceivers plus fiber.

Advantages

This 20 m SFP28 active optical cable offers stable 25GbE performance with reduced power consumption compared with some electrical copper alternatives and with consistent optical signal quality across the full link length. The integrated SFP28 connectors provide hot-pluggable convenience and eliminate the need for separate transceiver modules and patch cords, simplifying inventory and deployment. The optical medium prevents EMI issues common in copper links and supports reliable high-speed connectivity in dense rack and mixed-equipment environments.

Suitable for

• Short- to mid-range 25GbE links between top-of-rack or leaf switches
• Direct connections between servers and storage arrays requiring 25GbE bandwidth
• High-density patching in data centers where space and cable management are important
• Environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 on both ends
• Supported data rate: 25 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 20 meters
• Media: active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Transmission characteristics: low latency, EMI-immune optical link
• Form factor: compact, hot-pluggable SFP28 assemblies

How to use

Install the Active Optical Cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on networking equipment while the devices are powered on or off according to your equipment guidelines. Ensure both ends are fully seated until the connector latch engages. After insertion, verify link status and interface configuration on connected devices; the cable behaves as an integrated transceiver and will use the host port’s interface settings. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the equipment vendor. No additional fiber patching or external transceivers are required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within the 20 m length and keep it away from strong mechanical stress or tight bend radii. Confirm switch and server compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules and update device firmware or drivers if required by the host vendor. Store and handle the SFP28 connectors with dust caps until installation to protect optical interfaces.
