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

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-IA-BO is a 10 m active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends designed for 25G high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber. The pre-assembled cable integrates a transmitter and receiver in each SFP28 module, supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) and follows SFP28 AOC MSA specifications to ensure electrical, mechanical and functional interoperability with compatible networking equipment. The cable is aqua-coloured, weighs approximately 0.15 kg and is intended for short-reach interconnects inside data centers and high-performance computing racks where low latency and reliable 25G links are required.

Advantages

The AOC provides a plug-and-play fiber connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing insertion loss and maintenance related to connector cleaning. Compliance with SFP28 MSA ensures fit and function across compatible switches, routers and storage systems that accept SFP28 AOCs. Integrated DDM/DOM enables real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature to support remote diagnostics and troubleshooting. Using quality optical and electronic components extends expected operational life and supports continuous high-availability operation.

Suitable for

• 25G server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links inside racks and between adjacent racks
• High-performance computing clusters and storage interconnects requiring low latency
• Environments where EMI immunity and optical isolation are required
• Systems that support SFP28 AOC modules and DDM/DOM for diagnostics

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (active optical cable)
• Nominal length: 10 meters
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per link
• Fiber type: multimode optical transmission with integrated transceivers
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472
• Operating environment: designed for data center and short-reach applications
• Product colour: aqua
• Weight: approx. 0.15 kg

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP28 module into the corresponding SFP28 port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support SFP28 AOC modules and, if you intend to use DDM/DOM, verify the host hardware exposes diagnostics information. No additional patch cords or transceivers are required; the pre-assembled cable provides a direct optical connection. Handle the cable by the connector housings during insertion and removal, avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius to prevent damage to the fiber elements.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the specific switch, router or storage platform firmware and confirm support for SFP28 AOC modules before deployment. Maintain good cable management to preserve bend radius and avoid stress on the connectors. Use DDM/DOM readings to monitor link health and schedule preventive maintenance if parameters deviate from expected ranges.
