Cabo ótico ativo CBO SFP28-AOC-3M 3 m SFP28 AOC para ligações de 25Gb/s

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP28-AOC-3M is a 3-metre SFP28 AOC engineered for short-reach 25Gb/s connections between compatible SFP28 ports. The cable integrates optical transceivers and fiber in a single assembly, providing a low-latency, lightweight interconnect that simplifies rack-to-rack and intra-rack cabling. Designed for direct connection of servers, switches and storage devices, this AOC removes the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords while maintaining signal integrity and consistent bandwidth for 25 Gigabit Ethernet links.

Advantages

The integrated design lowers installation time and reduces cable management complexity by eliminating separate transceivers and patch panels. With optical transmission over a 3 m length, the cable offers immunity to electromagnetic interference and stable performance for high-speed 25Gb/s links. Its compact form factor and low power consumption contribute to efficient use of rack space and cooling resources in data center environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between SFP28-enabled network switches and servers
• Intra-rack and rack-to-rack links in data center topologies
• High-speed uplinks for storage arrays and aggregation switches
• Environments where reduced latency and EMI immunity are required

Key specifications

• Nominal length: 3 metres
• Interface: SFP28 on both ends for 25Gb/s links
• Data rate: supports 25 Gigabit per second Ethernet
• Transmission medium: active optical cable with integrated optical modules
• Latency: low propagation delay suitable for short-reach high-speed connections
• Environmental tolerance: designed for typical data center operating conditions
• Physical: lightweight, compact cable assembly for improved cable management

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible SFP28 ports and that firmware or vendor compatibility requirements are met. With devices powered down or in accordance with your hot-swap procedures, insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding port until it latches. Verify port status indicators and system diagnostics to confirm link establishment at 25Gb/s. For removal, follow vendor-recommended procedures to avoid port or connector damage.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use appropriate cable management to prevent strain on connectors and to preserve airflow in racks. Confirm compatibility with your switch and server vendor support lists if vendor-specific link training or EEPROM recognition is required.
