Cabo ótico ativo CBO AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q7M 7m, SFP28 para SFP28, 7 metros

Active optical cable CBO AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q7M is a factory-terminated, 7 meter SFP28-to-SFP28 link designed for short-range high-speed interconnects. The cable supports SFP28-compatible ports and is suitable for 25GbE or other SFP28 interface speeds, providing lower latency and reduced power consumption compared with equivalent copper direct attach cables. Its 7 m length suits rack-to-rack and within-rack connections in data center topologies where a reliable optical connection is required.

Advantages

The AOC offers plug-and-play installation with pre-terminated SFP28 connectors on both ends, eliminating field termination and optical alignment tasks. As an active optical cable, it delivers improved electromagnetic immunity and reduced heat dissipation relative to copper alternatives, while maintaining the signal integrity needed for 25GbE links. The 7 m length balances reach and density for typical server-switch and switch-switch connections.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack links in data centers
• Direct server-to-switch connectivity using SFP28 ports
• High-speed 25GbE uplinks and backplane-like interconnects
• Short-reach storage networking and SAN aggregation

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 on both ends
• Length: 7 meters
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Supported interface speed: SFP28 (commonly used for 25GbE)
• Typical use environment: Data center and enterprise networking racks

How to use

Insert the SFP28 connector into the device SFP28 port until it latches; repeat on the opposite device. Ensure both devices are powered and that their SFP28 ports support the intended link speed. The cable is pre-terminated and requires no additional configuration at the physical layer, though device-level configuration (for example enabling the port and setting link speed or negotiation parameters) may be necessary. Handle the cable by its connectors and avoid tight bends or kinks along the fiber length to preserve performance.

Recommendations

Install the cable in rack trays or cable management pathways to prevent stress and maintain bend radius. Verify compatibility with your devices' SFP28 port firmware and transceiver policy, and check link LEDs or management interfaces to confirm a stable 25GbE link after installation.
