Cabo AOC SFP28 BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-F5-BO 10m macho/macho

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-F5-BO is a 10 m Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends designed for 25G data links. The cable implements SFP28-to-SFP28 connectivity according to MSA guidelines and carries optical signals over multimode fiber with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end. It supports high-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet applications up to 25 Gbps over a 10 meter distance and includes Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time status information when supported by host hardware.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC provides a factory-terminated, plug-and-play optical connection that eliminates patchcord cleaning and mating loss associated with separate transceivers and fiber patching. Compliance with SFP28 MSA ensures mechanical and electrical interoperability with equipment that accepts SFP28 AOCs. Integrated optical components and tested manufacturing processes offer high availability and long service life suitable for demanding data center and high-performance computing environments.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and inter-rack connections in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and storage interconnects
• 25GBASE-SR4 Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet links
• Environments requiring low-latency, EMI-immune links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (male)
• Length: 10 meters
• Rated data rate: up to 25 Gbps per link
• Transmission medium: multimode fiber within AOC assembly
• Protocol support: Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support (if host supports)
• MSA-compliant SFP28 AOC form factor

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 host ports until the retention latch engages. Verify link status on the connected devices and, if required, enable or check DDM/DOM readings via the host management interface. No separate transceivers or patchcord terminations are required; the pre-terminated cable provides an immediate optical link across a 10 m span. Follow your equipment vendor instructions for hot-plugging and observe standard ESD precautions when handling the modules.

Recommendations

Ensure the host hardware officially supports SFP28 AOC modules and DDM/DOM if you intend to use diagnostic features. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain bend radii recommended for the AOC assembly. For installations in active data center racks, label both ends for easy identification and, where applicable, test the link upon installation using host diagnostics or network test equipment.
