AOC CBO SFP-25G-D-AOC-5M-DG aktívny optický kábel 25G, 5 m

Active optical cable AOC SFP-25G-D-AOC-5M-DG provides 25 Gigabit connectivity over a 5-metre optical link, intended for short-reach interconnects in data centre environments. The pre-terminated, hot-pluggable SFP form-factor simplifies installation for switch-to-switch and server-to-switch connections, while the optical medium reduces electromagnetic interference and signal loss common to copper solutions. The cable supports low-latency transmission and is suitable for high-density rack deployments where reliable 25G links are required.

Advantages

This 25G active optical cable offers a compact, pre-terminated solution that eliminates on-site fibre termination and testing. The optical link provides immunity to electromagnetic interference and lower insertion loss over the 5 m distance compared with equivalent copper assemblies. Hot-pluggable SFP connectors allow easy replacement or upgrades without powering down equipment, and the cable’s form factor supports dense port configurations in modern switches and servers.

Suitable for

• Short-reach data centre interconnects
• Switch-to-switch links within racks or across adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch uplinks at 25 Gigabit speeds
• High-density network environments requiring low-latency links

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gigabit per second
• Length: 5 metres
• Connector type: SFP form-factor, hot-pluggable
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical application: short-reach data centre and equipment interconnects

How to use

Insert each SFP module end into the corresponding SFP port on your switch or server until it clicks to secure the connection. Ensure ports are compatible with SFP-based 25G transceivers and that device firmware or configuration permits AOC modules. Configure link settings on connected devices according to network design and verify link status through device management interfaces. For removal, unlock the SFP latch and withdraw the module carefully to avoid stressing the cable or connectors.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use this AOC for short-reach links up to 5 m and avoid exposing the connectors or cable to excessive dust or moisture. Verify interoperability with switch and server vendors’ compatibility lists when strict compatibility is required.
