SFP28 AOC kábel BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-PS-BO 10m samec/samec

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-PS-BO is a 10 meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 25G data transmission over multimode fiber. It implements the SFP28 AOC MSA interface and supports 25GBASE-SR4 signalling for short-range high-speed links in data centers and high-performance computing environments. The cable integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules in the plug housings to provide a pre-terminated, low-latency fiber connection without separate patch cords.

Advantages

The AOC provides consistent 25 Gbps per lane throughput with low electromagnetic interference susceptibility thanks to optical transmission. Pre-terminated SFP28-to-SFP28 construction eliminates patch-panel terminations and reduces insertion loss from manual connectors. The assembly includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) capability for real-time reporting of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical transmit/receive power and temperature when supported by host hardware. Manufacturing follows MSA-compliant mechanical and electrical specifications to ensure interoperability with SFP28 ports.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and spine switch connections in data centers
• Server-to-switch links in high-performance computing clusters
• Storage system interconnects and SAN environments
• Short-reach 25G Ethernet or Fibre Channel over Ethernet links

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 to SFP28 active optical cable
• Length: 10 meters
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbps per link (25GBASE-SR4)
• Fiber type: multimode optical transmission (AOC assembly)
• DDM/DOM: digital diagnostics monitoring support (host dependent)
• MSA compliance: SFP28 AOC mechanical/electrical interoperability

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-PS-BO by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your switches, routers or storage modules until the latch engages. Confirm link status and negotiate speed using the host equipment management interface. If DDM/DOM is required, enable or query diagnostic registers from the host OS or management system to read real-time parameters. No separate fiber polishing, patch cords or connector cleaning is necessary for the pre-terminated AOC, but ensure ports are free of debris before insertion.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short-reach, high-density connections where low latency and immunity to EMI are required. Verify that the target hardware officially supports SFP28 AOCs and that any vendor locking or firmware restrictions are addressed before deployment. Store the cable routed without sharp bends and avoid stress on the connector housings to preserve performance and lifetime.
