AOC-kabel CBO SFP28-AOC-30M 30 m passief — CBO SFP28 actieve optische kabel, 30 m

Passive AOC cable CBO SFP28-AOC-30M is a 30-meter SFP28-compatible active optical cable designed to establish a fixed fiber link between SFP28 ports. It is intended for short to medium interconnects in data centres and network racks where a 30 m passive AOC delivers a direct 25GbE-capable connection without separate transceiver modules. The cable integrates optical transceivers at both ends and provides a single-length solution to simplify installation and reduce port-to-port latency.

Advantages

The CBO SFP28-AOC-30M offers plug-and-play connectivity with no separate transceivers to install, reducing component count and simplifying inventory. Its fixed 30 m length eliminates the need for optical patch cords and reduces insertion points that can introduce loss. Compatibility with SFP28 ports makes it suitable for 25GbE links and other SFP28-compatible applications, while the active optical design supports reliable signal integrity over the specified distance.

Suitable for

• Inter-rack and intra-rack connections in data centres
• 25GbE links between switches, servers and storage devices
• Network consolidation where fixed-length AOC simplifies cabling
• Short to medium distance fibre backbone segments requiring SFP28 connectivity

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 active optical cable
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 30 m
• Supported interface: SFP28-compatible
• Data rate class: suitable for 25GbE applications
• Usage environment: designed for data centre and network rack interconnects

How to use

Install the CBO SFP28-AOC-30M by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on network devices until the module latches. No separate transceiver modules or fibre patch cables are required. Ensure both ends are securely seated and that connected devices support SFP28 optics and the intended data rate. Follow standard hot-plug procedures for SFP modules when connecting or disconnecting the cable to avoid port or device damage.

Recommendations

Use the cable in controlled data centre or rack environments, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force, and maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer. Verify device compatibility with SFP28 AOC links and confirm link settings on switches and servers after installation to ensure optimal operation.
