CBO-kabel AV1H-BO AOC SFP28 10 m — actieve optische netwerkkabel voor SFP28-poorten

The CBO Cable AV1H-BO AOC SFP28 10 m is an active optical network cable designed for SFP28 ports that carry 25 Gb/s links. This fiber‑optic assembly provides a plug‑and‑play connection between compatible SFP28 network interfaces, delivering low latency and mitigation of electromagnetic interference compared with copper links. With a 10 metre length and integrated transceivers, the cable is suitable for linking switches, servers and storage equipment across rack and row distances in data centres and high‑performance networking environments.

Advantages

The active optical construction enables longer reach and consistent signal integrity without external transceivers, while keeping a compact, cable‑integrated form factor. By replacing copper DACs, this AOC reduces susceptibility to EMI and heat buildup and supports stable 25 Gb/s performance over a 10 m span. The plug‑and‑play SFP28 termination simplifies installation and helps maintain clean cable routing in dense rack deployments.

Suitable for

• Short‑to‑medium distance interconnects between top‑of‑rack and spine switches
• Server to switch connections in data centre racks
• High‑speed storage networking and direct attach links
• Environments where electromagnetic interference must be minimised

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28 compatible active optical cable
• Nominal data rate: 25 Gbit/s per channel
• Cable type: active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Length: 10 metres
• Latency: low, suitable for high‑performance networking
• Cable form factor: slim, flexible optical jacket for rack routing

How to use

Ensure both network devices have SFP28 ports that support active optical cables. Power down devices if recommended by the equipment vendor, then insert the SFP28 connectors into the corresponding ports until they click into place. Route the 10 m cable through the rack or conduit maintaining gentle bends and avoiding sharp kinks. After physical installation, power up devices and verify link status and negotiated speed through the network equipment management interface. If link parameters do not match expectations, check port compatibility and firmware requirements.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends below the cable’s minimum bend radius, keep connectors free of dust, and follow your switch or server vendor’s guidelines for SFP28 AOC compatibility and firmware. Use in temperature‑controlled data centre environments and secure cable routing to prevent strain on connectors.
