Aktívny optický kábel CBO SFP28-AOC-1M 1 m pre SFP28 porty (AOC, 1 m)

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP28-AOC-1M is a 1 meter SFP28 AOC designed to provide a direct fiber-optic connection between SFP28 ports. It supports short-reach 25GbE links commonly used in server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects. The cable combines an SFP28 form-factor connector with an integrated optical transceiver and lightweight fiber, offering a low-power, low-latency option for dense cabling environments such as data center racks and network equipment clusters.

Advantages

The AOC eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords by integrating optical conversion and fiber in a single assembly, reducing rack clutter and simplifying installation. Its one-meter length is optimized for short-reach connections inside racks, offering reduced signal loss and improved electromagnetic immunity compared with copper alternatives. The SFP28 interface ensures compatibility with 25GbE ports while keeping power consumption and heat generation low, which is beneficial for high-density installations.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25GbE server-to-switch links within data center racks
• Switch-to-switch interconnects in the same rack or adjacent racks
• High-density networking environments where reduced cable bulk is required
• Applications requiring low latency and minimal signal attenuation over short distances

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 form-factor on both ends
• Length: 1 meter
• Supported data rate: 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GbE)
• Medium: active optical cable with integrated optical transceivers
• Typical use-case: short-reach, intra-rack or adjacent-rack connectivity
• Power: low-power design suitable for dense port deployments
• Immunity: optical link resilient to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into corresponding SFP28 ports on networking equipment until the connector latch engages. Ensure both devices support 25GbE SFP28 modules and that port settings such as speed and auto-negotiation are configured according to the network design. Route the 1 m cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the recommended bend radius for fiber components. No separate transceiver or fiber patching is required because the optical transceivers are integrated into the cable ends.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use the cable for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections up to 1 meter, keep connectors clean and protected when not in use, and avoid kinking or tightly wrapping the cable. Verify compatibility with device vendors' supported SFP28 AOC modules and follow equipment guidelines for insertion and removal to prevent port damage.
