Cavo ottico attivo CBO SFP28-AOC-1M 1 m SFP28 per connessioni 25Gbps

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP28-AOC-1M is a 1 metre SFP28 AOC designed for reliable 25Gbps links between SFP28 ports. The cable integrates optical transceivers and a duplex multimode fiber link inside a single assembly to provide a direct optical connection without separate transceivers or patch cords. It is intended for short-reach interconnects in data centres, server racks and high-performance network switches where consistent low-latency, high-bandwidth links are required.

Advantages

The integrated design reduces equipment count and simplifies installation by eliminating separate transceivers and fibre patch cabling. With a 25Gbps per-lane data rate and SFP28 form factor compatibility, the cable delivers low latency and stable signal quality over the 1 m reach. The AOC construction offers electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference while keeping power consumption and heat generation lower than many active copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• Short-reach server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centres
• High-density rack environments requiring compact, compatible SFP28 links
• Server interconnects and uplinks for 25Gbps network interfaces
• Environments where reduced cabling complexity and low-latency links are needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 on both ends, duplex
• Data rate: 25 Gbps
• Length: 1 metre
• Transmission medium: active optical cable with multimode optical link
• Form factor compatibility: SFP28 ports (25GbE)
• Typical use: short-reach interconnects inside racks and between adjacent racks

How to use

Insert each SFP28 plug into compatible SFP28 ports on the devices to be connected, ensuring correct orientation and firm seating until the module latches. No separate transceiver modules or fibre patch cords are required. After seating, verify link status on both devices and check network interface settings for 25Gbps operation. For removal, press the latch and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port or cable housing.

Recommendations

Use the cable within the specified 1 m reach for optimal signal integrity and avoid sharp bends or tight cable ties; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius. Install in clean, low-dust rack areas and ensure proper airflow around adjacent equipment to maintain thermal stability. Verify device compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules and update device firmware if vendor documentation advises specific firmware versions for third-party optics.
