Cavo SFP28 AOC BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-3M-AT-BO 3 m connettore/connettore

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-3M-AT-BO is a 3 m Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends for 25 Gbps links. Designed for multi-mode fiber optical transmission, it integrates transmitter and receiver electronics in each connector conforming to SFP28 MSA standards. The cable supports low-latency, high-throughput connections between switches, routers, storage systems and other SFP28-capable devices where a short, pre-assembled fiber link is required. The product weight is approximately 0.15 kg and the cable is supplied in an aqua colour housing.

Advantages

This AOC provides a pre-assembled optical connection that is immune to electromagnetic interference and avoids the need for separate patch cords or manual polishing. It supports simultaneous send and receive operation at 25 Gbps and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) functionality for real-time information on supply voltage, laser bias current, output and received power, and temperature when supported by host hardware. The cable is manufactured to MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical specifications and uses high-quality optical and electronic components to achieve extended operational lifetime and high availability.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25G interconnects in data centre top-of-rack and aggregation layers
• Direct connections between SFP28 ports on switches, routers and storage arrays
• High-performance computing clusters and server-to-switch links requiring low latency
• Environments where immunity to EMI and a compact pre-terminated fiber link are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28
• Rated data rate: up to 25 Gbps
• Length: 3 meters
• Fiber type: multi-mode (integrated AOC)
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472 when supported by host
• Colour: aqua
• Weight: approx. 0.15 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-3M-AT-BO by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure the host devices support SFP28 AOC modules and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM support in the system management interface to access diagnostic parameters. No field termination or cleaning of patch cords is required because the optical link is factory-assembled. For removal, depress the connector latch and gently withdraw the module to avoid stressing the cable or port.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your device vendor for supported third‑party AOCs and confirm host firmware or driver requirements before deployment. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the cable; observe minimum bend radius specified by the enclosure or cabling guidelines. Use the DDM/DOM readouts for proactive link monitoring and maintenance planning where supported.
