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

The BlueOptics Active Optical Cable CBO SFP28-AOC-1M is a 1 m direct optical link engineered for SFP28 ports. It provides a compact, plug-and-play optical connection between compatible SFP28 transceivers in switches, servers, NICs and storage systems. The cable delivers short-reach high-speed data transfer while eliminating electrical noise and ground-loop issues associated with copper direct attach cables.

Advantages

This AOC offers low latency and consistent bandwidth for 25 Gbps SFP28 links while occupying minimal rack space. Its optical design reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, simplifies cabling by removing the need for separate transceivers, and improves signal integrity over the short 1 m distance. The cable is lightweight, flexible for tight routing, and requires no external power or configuration.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between SFP28 ports in data center switches and leaf/spine fabrics
• Direct links between servers and network interface cards (NICs)
• Interconnects in storage systems and SAN environments
• High-density rack deployments where space and EMI immunity are important

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 optical plug-to-plug
• Length: 1 metre (optical cable)
• Supported data rate: 25 Gbps per lane (SFP28 class)
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Compatibility: Designed for SFP28 ports on networking equipment, servers and storage hardware
• EMI immunity: Optical transmission removes electrical interference concerns over the link
• Form factor: Compact, hot-pluggable module-style ends for direct port insertion

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 plug into the corresponding SFP28 port until it clicks into place. Ensure both equipment ports support SFP28 optical modules and are powered according to the device manufacturer instructions. The cable is plug-and-play and typically recognized by the host device without additional configuration. For removal, depress the latch and gently withdraw the connector while supporting the cable to avoid stress on the port.

Recommendations

Use the AOC for short-distance connections within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer. Keep optical connectors clean and protect unused ends with dust caps until installation to ensure reliable optical performance.
