Cavo ottico attivo CBO SFP28-AOC-3M 3 m SFP28 per connessioni 25Gb/s

CBO SFP28-AOC-3M is a 3-meter active optical cable with SFP28 connectors engineered for 25Gb/s links. The cable delivers a low-latency, plug-and-play direct connection between compatible SFP28 ports on switches, servers or network interface cards. Its compact, lightweight assembly is intended for short-reach high-speed networking in data centers, server racks and storage networks where reliable, space-saving interconnects are required.

Advantages

The active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and enables consistent signal integrity at 25Gb/s while keeping power consumption low. Plug-and-play SFP28 connectors simplify installation and replacement without additional configuration. The 3 m length balances flexibility and cable management needs in dense rack environments, and the cable's thin profile helps improve airflow and reduce cable congestion.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row switch interconnects
• Server-to-switch and server-to-server high-speed links
• Storage area networks and NVMe over Fabrics connections
• Short-reach connections in data center and telecom racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 on both ends
• Data rate: 25 Gb/s
• Length: 3 meters
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Latency: low-latency design suitable for high-performance networking
• Form factor: compact, thin-profile cable for improved cable management

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 ports on network switches, servers or NICs until the module latches. The cable is hot-pluggable and requires no additional configuration when used with standard-compliant equipment; devices should automatically detect link speed and establish a 25Gb/s connection where supported. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it within the rack to maintain proper airflow and prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within its specified bend radius and avoid tight cable ties near connector heads. Verify compatibility with the host equipment's SFP28 port firmware and vendor interoperability lists when deploying in mixed-vendor environments.
