Cavo ottico attivo SFP28 CBO SFP28-AOC-2M lunghezza 2 m, compatibile con Check Point

CBO SFP28-AOC-2M is a 2-metre active optical cable (AOC) designed for SFP28 25Gbps ports and compatibility with Check Point equipment. The cable creates a direct fiber link between compatible switches, routers or network interface cards without separate transceivers, providing a low-power, low-latency connection for short-reach links in data centers and enterprise networks. Its factory-terminated design reduces installation time and cable bulk while ensuring signal integrity for 25 Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Advantages

The active optical design delivers stable 25Gbps performance with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives. Being a single, factory-assembled unit eliminates the need for separate modules and patch cords, simplifying inventory and installation. The cable’s 2 m length is optimized for short-reach top-of-rack and intra-rack connections, offering low power consumption and predictable latency suitable for high-performance computing and virtualized environments.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack to switch connections in data centers
• Intra-rack links between servers and switches
• High-density switch interconnects requiring 25Gbps bandwidth
• Network appliances and firewalls with SFP28 ports compatible with Check Point

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 direct-attach active optical cable
• Nominal data rate: 25 Gbps per lane (SFP28 standard)
• Length: 2 metres
• Physical form: Factory-terminated duplex optical cable
• Typical use: Short-reach intra-rack and inter-rack fiber links
• Power consumption: low-power AOC design suitable for dense deployments

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding 25Gbps SFP28 port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both endpoints support SFP28 AOC modules and are listed as compatible with Check Point equipment to avoid link issues. After insertion, verify link lights and check interface status on connected devices; no additional transceivers or fiber patching is required. For removal, depress the latch and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging ports or the cable.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for optimal optical performance. Use the 2 m length for short-reach connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm firmware and compatibility lists on your network devices for best interoperability and monitor link status after installation.
