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

The AOC CBO SFP28-AOC-1M is a 1 m active optical cable designed for SFP28 ports, providing a factory-terminated, fixed-length fiber connection for short-reach high-speed links. Built for environments where compact, low-power optical links replace copper cabling, this BlueOptics cable supports direct device interconnects such as server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in data center racks and network closets.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers low latency and high data integrity over a 1 m reach while consuming less power than equivalent copper solutions. Factory-terminated optical interfaces eliminate field termination and reduce installation time. The compact SFP28 form-factor maintains standard port density and compatibility with SFP28 cages and cages with appropriate vendor support. The optical medium reduces sensitivity to electromagnetic interference and enables stable performance in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25 Gb/s links between servers and switches
• Switch-to-switch uplinks within the same rack or adjacent racks
• High-density data center interconnects requiring low power and small form-factor cabling

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 form-factor on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with factory-terminated fiber
• Length: 1 meter
• Data rate: Supports 25 Gb/s signaling over SFP28 interfaces
• Power consumption: Low-power design compared with copper DAC alternatives
• EMI immunity: Optical transmission reduces electromagnetic interference impact
• Operating environment: Intended for short-reach, rack-level installations in data centers and network rooms

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors latch into place. Verify that connected devices support active optical cables and SFP28 modules; check device firmware or vendor compatibility lists if necessary. After insertion, confirm link status through the devices' management interface or LEDs. No field termination or additional transceivers are required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; adhere to the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use the 1 m AOC for intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections where short, low-power optical links are preferred. Confirm compatibility with switch and server vendors when planning deployments in heterogeneous environments.
