Cabo SFP28 AOC BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-7M-PS-BO 7 m macho/macho

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-7M-PS-BO is a 7m active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 25G high-speed links in data centers and enterprise networks. The AOC integrates transmitters and receivers and uses multimode fiber to support 25GBASE-SR4 applications with reduced latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Manufactured to MSA standards, this pre-assembled cable delivers a plug-and-play fibre connection without patching, cleaning patch cords or added attenuation.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP28 AOC supports up to 25 Gbit/s over a 7 m multimode optical link and provides Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature. The cable is produced to MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical specifications and uses high-quality optical and electronic components to achieve long operational life and high availability in switch, router or storage system environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25G connections between switches and routers within racks or adjacent racks
• High-performance storage and server interconnects in data centers
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and other 25G Ethernet applications
• Environments where EMI immunity and low latency are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (male/male)
• Length: 7 meters
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per link (25GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Fiber type: multimode (pre-assembled AOC)
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472
• Compliance: designed to MSA mechanical and electrical specifications; CE and RoHS compliant

How to use

Install the SFP28-AOC-7M-PS-BO by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 slot of the networking devices until the latch secures. Ensure that connected hardware supports SFP28 modules and that the DDM/DOM feature is enabled in the host system if diagnostic monitoring is required. No field termination, polishing or patching is necessary because the cable arrives factory-assembled and ready for operation. For optimal reliability, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch, router or storage system in advance and confirm that the host firmware or OS supports third-party AOCs. Use proper bend radius guidelines for multimode optical cables, keep connectors clean during handling, and enable DDM/DOM monitoring to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
