Aktívny optický kábel CBO SFP28-AOC-50M-RW-BO 50 m SFP28 AOC

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP28-AOC-50M-RW-BO is a 50 metre SFP28-compatible fiber assembly designed for high-speed connections between servers, switches and other data centre equipment. The cable supports SFP28 ports and is intended for 25 Gigabit Ethernet links, offering optical transmission that reduces electromagnetic interference and simplifies cable management in dense networking environments.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable provides stable 25GbE performance over a 50 m reach while keeping a compact, pre-terminated form factor that is easy to install. Because it uses optical links rather than copper, the cable eliminates susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and delivers consistent signal quality over longer distances. The pre-mated SFP28 connectors remove the need for separate transceivers and fibre terminations, reducing installation time and risk of connector mismatch.

Suitable for

• 25 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and servers
• Top-of-rack and spine connections in data centres
• High-density rack environments requiring simplified cabling
• Applications where immunity to electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 active optical cable
• Length: 50 metres
• Supported data rate: 25 Gbps
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fiber within AOC assembly
• Connector type: SFP28 on both ends (pre-terminated)
• Primary use: direct optical link between compatible SFP28 ports

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the network devices until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that devices are powered and configured for 25GbE operation. No separate transceivers or fibre splicing are required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended by the equipment vendor to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Handle the Active Optical Cable by the connector housings and avoid pulling on the fiber jacket. Store and route the cable in a way that prevents tight loops, kinks or compressive forces. Verify compatibility of SFP28 port firmware and vendor interoperability notes before deployment to ensure link negotiation and full throughput at 25GbE.
