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

The Active Optical Cable CBO SFP28-AOC-1M is a 1-meter direct-attach fiber-optic link designed for SFP28 ports. It uses SFP28 form-factor transceivers integrated into a fixed cable assembly to provide short-reach, high-bandwidth connections between compatible network devices. The cable is intended for low-latency interconnects in data center environments, linking servers, switches and storage systems where a reliable optical connection is required.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable delivers high data rates with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives and supports the physical form factor and electrical interface of SFP28 ports. The fixed one-meter length simplifies cabling between adjacent racks or within server cabinets while offering the signal integrity and distance benefits of optical fiber. Integrated transceivers eliminate the need for separate pluggable modules and patch cords, reducing connector loss and points of failure.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25 Gbps links between servers and top-of-rack switches
• Interconnects in high-density data center racks
• Direct connections between storage arrays and host adapters
• Low-latency links in virtualized or high-performance computing environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 form-factor active optical assembly
• Cable length: 1 meter
• Data rate: Supports 25 Gbps class links (SFP28-level performance)
• Medium: Optical fiber within a direct-attach cable
• Typical application: Short-reach server, switch and storage interconnects
• Latency: Low-latency optical transmission suitable for performance-sensitive links

How to use

Install the Active Optical Cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the devices to be connected. Ensure that both host and target devices support SFP28 AOC assemblies and that ports are enabled and configured for the intended 25 Gbps link mode. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; the fixed assembly requires only simple, direct routing within the rack or between adjacent units. No separate transceiver modules or fiber patch cords are necessary.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility with SFP28 AOC assemblies before installation and confirm firmware or driver support for active optical direct-attach cables. Maintain minimum bend radius guidelines for the cable, avoid excessive tension on connectors, and keep connector interfaces clean prior to insertion to ensure reliable signal performance.
