Cavo AOC SFP28 BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-GM-BO 10m connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-GM-BO is a 10-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 25G high-speed links in data centre and high-performance computing environments. The cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end to transfer optical signals over multimode fiber and supports common protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet up to 25 Gbit/s across a 10 m reach. The pre-assembled AOC eliminates the need for separate patch cords and reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This SFP28 AOC provides a standardized SFP28-to-SFP28 interface compliant with MSA specifications, enabling interoperability with compatible networking equipment. It offers integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and transceiver temperature when supported by host hardware. Built from high-quality optical and electronic components, the cable is intended for long service life and high availability in continuous-operation environments.

Suitable for

• Data centre uplinks and leaf-spine connections
• High-performance computing clusters
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-storage 25G links
• Environments requiring immunity to EMI and low-latency optical links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (male)
• Length: 10 metres
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per link
• Medium: multimode optical cable (active optical cable with integrated transceivers)
• Supported protocols: Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet at 25G
• Management: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when host hardware provides access
• Compliance: designed to meet SFP28 AOC MSA electrical and mechanical specifications

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-GM-BO by inserting each SFP28 plug into the SFP28 cage of the respective devices until the latch engages. Ensure both host devices support SFP28 AOC modules and any required DDM/DOM access if monitoring is needed. No additional patching or fibre polishing is required; the cable is factory-terminated. After insertion, verify link status and speed in the host device management interface and check DDM values if available to confirm correct operation.

Recommendations

Use in well-ventilated rack environments and avoid tight bends at the cable ends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Confirm device compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules and enable DDM/DOM monitoring on the connected equipment to assist with diagnostics and maintenance.
