CBO Active Optical-kabel SFP28-AOC-10M-UQ-BO 10 m voor SFP28-poorten

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP28-AOC-10M-UQ-BO is a 10 m optical link designed for SFP28 ports, providing 25 Gbps per lane connectivity for short to mid-range interconnects. Intended as a direct replacement for copper twinax in data centers and high-performance network environments, this BlueOptics AOC reduces electromagnetic interference and enables low-latency transmission between switches, servers and network interface cards. The module features standard SFP28 form-factor compatibility and plug-and-play operation with equipment that supports SFP28 AOC connections.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable offers high data throughput with 25 Gbps per lane while maintaining signal integrity over a 10 m distance. Optical transmission eliminates susceptibility to electromagnetic interference common in copper links and reduces weight and bulk in cable trays. The SFP28 form-factor ensures straightforward installation without additional transceivers, and the AOC design provides low latency and consistent performance suitable for demanding network traffic.

Suitable for

• Short to mid-range server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in rack environments
• High-performance computing clusters and storage networks requiring 25 Gbps links
• Network interface card (NIC) uplinks and top-of-rack aggregation ports
• Data center deployments where EMI reduction and low-latency links are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 optical module ends compatible with SFP28 ports
• Length: 10 m
• Data rate: 25 Gbps per lane
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Latency: Low-latency optical transmission suitable for high-performance networking
• Interference immunity: Optical link eliminates electromagnetic interference typical of copper twinax

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your devices until the latch engages. Ensure both endpoints support SFP28 AOC modules and that firmware or driver requirements for 25 Gbps links are met. No external power or separate transceivers are required beyond the host SFP28 ports; once connected, devices should enumerate the link and negotiate speed automatically according to equipment capabilities.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Keep the optical connector dust caps on until ready to connect, and avoid tensile stress on the cable during installation and operation. Verify compatibility with your switches, servers and NICs for SFP28 AOC support and confirm link settings in device management interfaces after installation.
