Cavo SFP28 BlueOptics SFP-25G-D-AOC-20M-DT-BO 20 m connettore maschio/connettore maschio

The BlueOptics SFP-25G-D-AOC-20M-DT-BO is a 20-meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 male connectors on both ends designed for 25G data links. It implements 25GBASE-SR4-compatible optical transmission over multimode fiber with an integrated transmitter and receiver at each end, providing a pre-assembled fiber connection for short-reach, high-bandwidth links in data center and network equipment that support SFP28 modules.

Advantages

The cable delivers high-speed, low-latency data transmission up to 25 Gbit/s over a 20 m multimode link while remaining immune to electromagnetic interference. As an AOC it requires no field termination or patching and reduces insertion loss compared with patchcord-based assemblies. Built to MSA-compatible SFP28 mechanical and electrical specifications, the product includes digital diagnostics monitoring for real-time status information and is manufactured from quality optical and electronic components to support extended operational life.

Suitable for

• High-density data center switch-to-switch connections
• Server-to-top-of-rack or server-to-switch links
• Storage system interconnects and SAN uplinks
• Short-reach aggregation and spine-leaf network fabrics

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 to SFP28 active optical cable
• Maximum data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per channel
• Length: 20 meters
• Optical medium: multimode fiber
• Supported protocols: Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET (as applicable to 25G links)
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time parameters (voltage, bias current, TX/RX power, temperature)
• Connector gender: male on both ends (SFP28 plug)

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your network devices until the module latches; ensure compatible port settings and firmware support for AOC modules and 25G operation on the devices. Verify link status after insertion and, if available, use the device management interface to read DDM/DOM parameters for diagnostics. No additional fiber patching or polishing is required because the fiber is factory-terminated within the active cable.

Recommendations

Confirm that your switch, router or storage platform supports SFP28 AOCs and 25GBASE-SR4 operation before deployment. Maintain bend radius guidelines for multimode AOCs, avoid tight bends or kinks, and secure the cable to prevent mechanical strain on SFP28 ports. Use DDM/DOM data to monitor optical performance and schedule inspections if parameters deviate from expected ranges.
