Cavo ottico attivo CBO SFP28 AOC BlueOptics BO272703Q1M 1 m

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP28 AOC BlueOptics BO272703Q1M 1 m is a pre-terminated fiber interconnect designed for SFP28 ports and 25Gbps-class networking equipment. This 1-meter AOC provides a direct optical link between switches, servers and network interface cards, offering reduced electrical interference and lower transmit power compared with comparable copper direct attach solutions. The cable is intended for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections in data center and enterprise networking environments and supports plug-and-play installation for rapid deployment.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP28 AOC delivers consistent 25Gbps performance with low latency and stable signal integrity over its 1 m length. As an active optical solution it reduces weight and power consumption compared to copper DACs and eliminates concerns about electromagnetic interference. The pre-terminated design removes the need for field termination and simplifies rack-to-rack or server-to-switch cabling. Its standardized SFP28 form-factor ensures compatibility with equipment that accepts optical SFP28 AOCs.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Server-to-switch links in data centers and server rooms
• High-bandwidth NIC uplinks and switch stacking where SFP28 ports are available
• Environments requiring low EMI and reduced power consumption

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 optical transceiver interface
• Data rate: 25 Gbps per lane (SFP28 class)
• Length: 1 meter
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with pre-terminated fiber
• Typical use: Short-reach data center interconnects
• Latency: low, suitable for high-performance networking

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28 AOC by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the devices to be linked. Ensure the transceiver slots are compatible and that the host device supports AOC modules with the SFP28 form factor. No field termination or fiber splicing is required. After seating the connectors and confirming link lights or interface status on network equipment, configure the interfaces in your switch or server operating system as needed for the 25Gbps link.

Recommendations

Handle the optical connectors carefully to avoid contamination; keep dust caps on until installation and inspect connector endfaces if link issues occur. Avoid tight bends and excessive tension on the AOC to preserve optical performance. For reliable operation, verify compatibility with your switch or NIC vendor and use appropriate port settings and firmware recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
