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

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-HU-BO is a 10-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 25G data links in data center and high-performance computing environments. The cable uses multimode fiber with integrated transmitters and receivers at each end and conforms to SFP28 MSA electrical and mechanical specifications. It supports 25GBASE-SR4-class applications and provides low-latency, EMI-immune optical connectivity over a fixed 10 m channel.

Advantages

This AOC provides a pre-assembled, plug-and-play fiber connection that avoids patchcord cleaning and connector mating issues common with discrete fiber assemblies. Built according to MSA guidelines, the cable offers interoperability with SFP28 ports and includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time metrics such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit and receive power, and temperature. Components are selected from established communications suppliers to provide extended service life and high mean time between failures.

Suitable for

• 25G uplinks between switches and routers in data centers
• High-performance compute clusters and storage interconnects
• Top-of-rack to aggregation switch connections where a fixed 10 m link is required
• Environments requiring EMI-immune links and low latency

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Length: 10 metres (fixed)
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per channel (25GBASE-SR4 class)
• Fiber type: multimode optical fiber
• Integrated transceivers: transmitter and receiver in each module
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with MSA SFF-8472
• Standards: designed to meet SFP28 MSA mechanical and electrical specifications; CE and RoHS compliance

How to use

Insert each SFP28 module into the corresponding SFP28 port on network devices until the module latches. Ensure devices are powered according to vendor instructions and that the host hardware supports third-party AOCs or compatible SFP28 modules. Verify link status in the device management interface and check DDM readings if available to confirm optical parameters. No additional fiber termination or patching is required because the cable is factory-terminated and pre-assembled.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within its specified 10 m length and avoid tight bends or excessive pulling forces on the cable. Confirm host compatibility and DDM support in the target devices before deployment. Store and handle the AOC in clean conditions to avoid contamination of the connector interfaces when unplugging and re-plugging.
