Cabo AOC SFP28 BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-EE-BO 10m macho/macho

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-EE-BO is a 10 m Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 25G data transmission over multimode fiber. It follows SFP28 AOC MSA standards and provides a pre-assembled optical link with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each connector. The cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth connections for switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP28 AOC interfaces and is intended for short-reach, high-performance networking within data centers and high-performance computing racks.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP28 AOC offers plug-and-play fiber connectivity without the need for field termination or patch cord cleaning, reducing installation time and potential signal loss. The product implements Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with MSA SFF-8472 to provide real-time diagnostics such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit/receive power and temperature. Components are selected to meet MSA mechanical and electrical specifications, ensuring interoperability and predictable performance for supported platforms.

Suitable for

• 25G short-reach interconnects in data center switch-to-switch links
• Server-to-switch or storage-to-switch connections in HPC racks
• High-density networking environments requiring reliable low-latency links
• Environments where pre-assembled, maintenance-reducing fiber links are preferred

Key specifications

• Length: 10 meters
• Interface: SFP28 to SFP28 (active optical cable)
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per lane (25GBASE-SR4 compatible usage)
• Transmission medium: multimode fiber with integrated optical transceivers
• Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) per SFF-8472
• MSA compliance: SFP28 AOC mechanical and electrical specifications
• EMI immunity: inherent fiber optic immunity to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-EE-BO by inserting the SFP28 connectors into compatible SFP28 ports on networking equipment until the latch engages. Verify host hardware supports SFP28 AOC modules and, if required, enable or allow third-party optics in the device firmware or management interface. Use the device management tools to read DDM/DOM values for link diagnostics and monitoring. Avoid excessive bending of the cable and secure routing inside racks or enclosures to prevent mechanical stress on the connectors and fiber assemblies.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, confirm compatibility with the target switch or server platform and check that the host supports DDM/DOM reporting if diagnostics are required. Route the cable with appropriate bend radius and strain relief, and avoid exposure to mechanical abrasion or liquids. For critical links, consider testing a sample link in the intended system to validate performance and firmware compatibility before large-scale deployment.
