Cabo ótico ativo CBO AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q1M 1 m 25Gbps

The CBO AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q1M is an active optical cable in SFP28 form factor with a 1 m length and 25 Gbps single-lane data rate. It integrates optical transceivers and fiber into a single plug-and-play assembly to establish a low-latency, low-power optical link between devices with SFP28 ports. The cable is intended for short-range, high-speed connectivity in data centers and network closets where simplified cabling and reduced heat generation are important.

Advantages

This SFP28 active optical cable delivers 25 Gbps throughput while removing the need for separate transceivers, which simplifies installation and lowers component count. The optical connection provides electrical isolation and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Because the assembly combines transceivers and fiber into one unit, it reduces the space and heat footprint inside dense rack deployments and typically consumes less power than equivalent DAC solutions for the same reach.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnects between 25 Gbps switches and servers
• Direct links between network adapters and top-of-rack switches
• High-density rack environments where heat and space are constrained
• Environments requiring low-latency and stable optical links

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 active optical cable (integrated transceivers)
• Length: 1 meter
• Data rate: 25 Gbps per lane
• Medium: single-mode/multi-mode optical fiber within AOC assembly (integrated)
• Connector type: SFP28 compatible plugs on both ends
• Typical application: short-range, high-speed server and switch interconnects
• Operating characteristic: low-latency, low-power optical link

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28 AOC by inserting each SFP28 plug into the corresponding SFP28 port on your switch, server or NIC until the latch engages. No separate transceiver modules or fiber connectors are required. Ensure both devices support 25 Gbps operation and compatible SFP28 AOC modules. Verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated speed and link health. When removing the cable, release the latch and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Use the 1 m SFP28 AOC for short in-rack connections and avoid tight bends or kinks in the cable assembly; follow vendor-recommended minimum bend radius. Confirm compatibility with the host hardware firmware and configure link settings for 25 Gbps where required. Store and handle the cable by the connector housings to prevent stress on the fiber assembly.
