Cabo ótico ativo CBO SFP28 AOC BlueOptics BO272703Q30M 30 m

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP28 AOC BlueOptics BO272703Q30M 30 m is a factory-terminated SFP28 AOC engineered to provide a 30-metre optical link for 25GbE and compatible SFP28 environments. The cable assembly integrates optical transceivers and fibre in a single, pre-assembled unit that fits into SFP28 ports on switches, servers and network equipment. It is intended for short- to medium-reach connections in data centres and high-density networking racks where a reliable, low-latency optical link is required without separate transceiver and patch-fibre installation.

Advantages

The integrated AOC eliminates the need for separate optical modules and patch cords, reducing installation time and the risk of connector contamination. As a single-piece solution, it offers consistent signal integrity across the 30-metre span and simplifies cable management in dense rack environments. The product is compatible with SFP28 ports and designed to deliver the bandwidth and low latency expected for 25GbE applications while reducing heat and power compared with some active copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• 25 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and top-of-rack servers
• High-density patch panels and blade server connections in data centres
• Short- to medium-range optical connections where rapid deployment is needed
• Environments that require factory-terminated cables to reduce on-site fibre handling

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 form-factor (plug-and-play AOC)
• Nominal reach: 30 metres
• Data rate support: designed for 25Gb/s (25GbE) and compatible SFP28 applications
• Cable type: active optical assembly with integrated transceiver electronics
• Typical use: direct-attach optical link for switches, servers and network equipment

How to use

Install the Active Optical Cable by inserting each SFP28 end into the corresponding SFP28 port on the network devices until the retention latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or compliant with hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment manufacturer before insertion or removal if required. After both ends are seated, verify link status through the device management interface or LEDs. No separate fibre termination, cleaning or transceiver mounting is necessary, as the AOC is factory-terminated and calibrated for plug-and-play operation.

Recommendations

Position the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; follow manufacturer bend-radius guidelines for optical assemblies. Use appropriate cable management to prevent stress on ports and ensure airflow in rack systems is not obstructed. Verify compatibility with device firmware or vendor compatibility lists when deploying in multi-vendor environments.
