Módulo de cabo ótico SFP28 CBO AOC BO272703Q30M — 30 m, compatível com Broadcom AFBR-8CER30Z-BC

This SFP28 BlueOptics AOC cable module CBO BO272703Q30M is a 30-metre active optical cable designed for 25GbE SFP28 ports and is compatible with Broadcom AFBR-8CER30Z-BC. It provides a direct optical link between switches, servers or network interface cards without the need for separate transceivers. The module supports plug-and-play installation and is intended for short- to mid-range high-speed connections in data centre and enterprise network environments where a certified, vendor-compatible optical solution is required.

Advantages

The 30 m active optical cable delivers consistent 25Gbps performance while reducing electro-magnetic interference and cable bulk compared with copper solutions. Compatibility with Broadcom AFBR-8CER30Z-BC and SFP28 ports enables straightforward interoperability with equipment that accepts vendor-compatible AOC modules. As an integrated cable-transceiver assembly, it removes the need to purchase and install separate SFP28 transceivers and fibre patch cords, simplifying installation and spare-parts management.

Suitable for

• Data centre switch-to-switch uplinks and spine-leaf connections
• Rack-to-rack interconnects within the same equipment room or adjacent rooms
• Direct server-to-switch or server-to-server 25GbE links
• Environments requiring vendor-compatible optical modules for certified hardware

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 30 metres
• Data rate: 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GbE)
• Connector type: SFP28 duplex optical connectors integrated in AOC assembly
• Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with Broadcom AFBR-8CER30Z-BC compatible ports and equipment supporting SFP28 AOC modules
• Application: Short- to mid-range optical interconnects in data centre and enterprise networks

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28 AOC by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the two devices you wish to interconnect. Ensure both devices are powered off or follow hot-plug guidelines provided by the equipment manufacturer. The module is plug-and-play and should be recognised by most systems that accept vendor-compatible SFP28 AOC modules; verify link status and speed in the host device management interface after insertion. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain on the connectors and secure the cable along rack paths as needed.

Recommendations

Use this 30 m AOC for intra-data-centre connections where electromagnetic isolation, low latency and high-density cabling are priorities. Avoid exposure to excessive tensile force, crushing or temperatures outside the equipment specifications. For mixed-vendor environments, confirm compatibility with host devices' transceiver compatibility lists and firmware versions before deployment.
