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

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-IX-BO is a 10-meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends designed for high-speed 25G data transmission over multimode fiber. Built to MSA SFP28 AOC electrical and mechanical specifications, this pre-assembled cable integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules in each connector to provide a single, plug-and-play fiber link without the need for separate patch cords or field termination. The 10 m length is intended for connections within racks or between adjacent racks in data centers and high-performance computing environments where reliable, low-latency links are required.

Advantages

This SFP28 AOC offers a factory-assembled multimode fiber link that reduces installation effort and potential insertion loss compared with patched fiber assemblies. Compliance with SFP28 AOC MSA standards ensures interoperability with compatible SFP28 ports. The integrated transceiver modules and multimode cable design minimize susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and remove the need for cleaning or terminating patch cords. Digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability provides real-time parameters (when supported by host hardware) for simplified remote monitoring and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row connections in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and server interconnects
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-storage links supporting 25GBase-SR4-type applications
• Environments requiring low-latency, short-reach multimode fiber links

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 to SFP28 active optical cable
• Length: 10 meters
• Transmission type: Multimode fiber with integrated optical TX/RX modules
• Nominal data rate: up to 25 Gbps per channel (25G class applications)
• MSA compliance: SFP28 AOC electrical/mechanical/function specifications
• Diagnostic: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when host hardware provides access

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your networking equipment until the latch engages. Ensure that both ends are fully seated and that the host devices are powered and configured to accept AOC transceivers. If your hardware exposes DDM/DOM, verify diagnostic readings through the host management interface for supply voltage, optical transmit/receive power, bias current and temperature. No additional patching or fiber cleaning is required for the pre-terminated AOC; handle connectors carefully to avoid contamination and physical damage.

Recommendations

Use this 10 m SFP28 AOC for short-reach multimode connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm host compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules and DDM/DOM features before deployment. Store the cable coiled loosely and protect connector ends with dust caps when not in use. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pull force to maintain optical performance.
