InfiniBand cabo ótico ativo CBO AOC-S-S-25G-5M-BO — 25G SFP28, 5 m, azul

CBO InfiniBand active optical cable AOC-S-S-25G-5M-BO is a 5-meter SFP28 active optical cable engineered for 25G data links. The blue cable uses optical signaling to deliver low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity between SFP28 ports on switches, servers and storage devices. It is intended for short-reach, high-speed network connections where reduced electromagnetic interference and straightforward installation are required.

Advantages

The active optical design enables longer reach and lower signal loss compared with copper twinax cables while maintaining SFP28 compatibility for 25G links. The optical medium reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in dense rack environments. The fixed 5 m length provides a predictable routing profile and the SFP28 form-factor ensures plug-and-play interoperability with compliant SFP28 ports.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and top-of-rack switch connections
• Rack-to-rack links within server rooms
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand deployments requiring 25G links
• Connections between storage arrays and host adapters with SFP28 ports

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 optical
• Data rate: 25 Gbps
• Length: 5 metres
• Cable colour: blue
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical application: short-reach, high-speed interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 end into the corresponding SFP28 port on your network devices until the connector latches. Ensure both ports are compatible with 25G SFP28 modules and powered off or in hot-plug supported state according to device guidance. Route the 5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for optical fibres. After connection, verify link status and negotiate the desired link speed through device interfaces or management software.

Recommendations

Use this cable in controlled indoor environments such as network racks and data centres. Avoid exposure to liquids, direct sunlight and mechanical stress. For best performance, keep connectors clean and use dust caps when the cable is not connected. Confirm firmware and driver compatibility on both ends to ensure reliable 25G operation.
