SFP28 AOC-kabel BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-AT-BO 10m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-AT-BO is a 10 metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 25G data transmission over multimode fibre. The cable integrates a transmitter and receiver at each end and follows SFP28 AOC Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) mechanical and electrical standards to ensure interoperability with compatible networking equipment. It supports high-speed protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over short-reach multimode links and includes digital diagnostics monitoring for real-time status information.

Advantages

The AOC delivers a plug-and-play single-assembly fibre solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing attenuation and maintenance associated with cleaned patch panels. Built to MSA specifications, the cable offers predictable mechanical fit and electrical behaviour across supported platforms. Integrated digital diagnostics provide live readings of supply voltage, laser bias current, output and input power, and temperature to aid remote troubleshooting. Components sourced from established optical suppliers are used to achieve extended operational lifetime and high mean time between failures.

Suitable for

• Data centre top-of-rack and leaf-spine switch interconnects
• High-performance compute clusters and storage system links
• Server-to-switch 25G short-reach connections
• Low-latency, high-bandwidth fabric within racks and across adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28
• Length: 10 m
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbps
• Medium: multimode fibre (pre-assembled AOC)
• Standards compliance: SFP28 AOC MSA, 25GBASE-SR4 compatible behaviours
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM per SFF-8472 (voltage, bias current, output/input power, temperature)
• EMI immunity inherent to optical transmission

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on network devices until the latch engages. Ensure connected equipment supports SFP28 AOC modules and, if required, enable or verify digital diagnostics support in device software to access monitoring parameters. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable; route the cable through appropriate cable management to prevent strain. Before deployment, verify link status and data rate settings on both ends of the connection.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics SFP28 AOC for short-reach 25G links inside racks or between adjacent racks; maintain bend radius specifications and secure cable to avoid connector stress. Confirm host equipment firmware supports third-party AOCs and enable DDM/DOM monitoring when available to assist with remote diagnostics.
