AOC CBO SFP25G-AOC20M-TG 25G actieve optische kabel 20 m

The AOC CBO SFP25G-AOC20M-TG 25G Active Optical Cable 20m by BlueOptics is a duplex active optical cable designed to provide 25 Gigabit connectivity across a 20‑metre optical link. It connects devices equipped with compatible SFP+ or SFP28 ports that support 25G data rates. The cable delivers optical signal transmission that reduces electromagnetic interference and maintains low latency for high‑performance network links in data centre and enterprise environments.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers a high bandwidth 25G link with lower power consumption compared with some copper alternatives and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The 20 m length simplifies connectivity across racks or between adjacent equipment rows without the need for additional transceivers and patch cords. Plug‑and‑play compatibility with SFP+ and SFP28 interfaces reduces installation time and helps maintain consistent signal integrity and low latency for latency‑sensitive applications.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and top‑of‑rack or spine switches in data centres
• High‑speed links between servers in the same or neighbouring racks
• Connections between network devices with SFP+ or SFP28 ports supporting 25G
• Environments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gigabit per second
• Cable type: Active optical duplex cable
• Length: 20 metres
• Interface compatibility: SFP+ and SFP28 ports supporting 25G
• Latency: low, suitable for latency‑sensitive applications
• EMI resistance: optical transmission provides immunity to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Ensure both network devices have compatible SFP+ or SFP28 ports that support 25G operation and are powered down or accessed according to your equipment’s hot‑swap policy. Insert each SFP connector firmly into the corresponding port until it engages, then secure any retaining clips if present. Verify link status using device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated speed is 25G. For removal, follow the device manufacturer’s instructions to avoid damage to the connectors or ports.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius. Use appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors. For best performance, confirm firmware and port settings on connected devices are set to support 25G operation and monitor link health regularly.
