CBO AOC SFP-25G-D-AOC-20M-DG actieve optische kabel 25G 20m

The CBO AOC SFP-25G-D-AOC-20M-DG active optical cable provides a 25 Gigabit per second direct-attach connection over a 20-meter fiber assembly with SFP+ form-factor ends. Built for high-density data center and enterprise deployments, this AOC integrates transceiver functionality into the cable assembly to remove the need for separate optical transceivers and patch cords. The result is a simplified cabling approach that supports low latency, reduced power consumption and reliable high-speed links between switches, servers and storage systems.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers the bandwidth required for 25G applications while maintaining a compact SFP+ form factor at each end. Integration of optical electronics in the cable lowers system power draw compared with discrete transceivers and fiber patching. The fixed-length 20 m assembly reduces the number of connection points, which can improve signal integrity and simplify rack-to-rack or row-to-row connectivity. The product is engineered for plug-and-play operation and consistent performance in typical data center temperature ranges.

Suitable for

• 25G uplinks between network switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch and storage-to-switch connections in racks and across aisles
• Data center top-of-rack and end-of-row cabling where 20 m reach is required
• Environments prioritizing reduced power consumption and simplified cable management

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gbit/s
• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor modules at both ends
• Length: 20 meters
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with integrated transceiver electronics
• Typical use: Short-reach multimode-equivalent link for data center interconnects
• Power profile: Low-power design compared with discrete optical transceivers

How to use

Insert each SFP+ end of the cable into the corresponding SFP+ port on network switches, servers or storage devices until the connector latches. Ensure the host ports support 25G SFP+ modules and that firmware or driver compatibility is satisfied when required. No separate fiber patch cords or transceiver modules are needed. Verify link status LEDs on connected devices to confirm the link is established. For removal, depress the latch and withdraw the module carefully to avoid stress on the cable and connector.

Recommendations

Install the cable following standard data center handling practices: avoid tight bends below the manufacturer minimum bend radius, secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors, and maintain ambient operating conditions within equipment specifications. Use the 20 m length for planned rack-to-rack paths and avoid running the cable near strong electromagnetic interference sources for optimal signal integrity.
