AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q10M 10M cable óptico activo, CBO SFP28-AOC-10M-PT-BO

AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q10M is a 10 meter active optical cable engineered for 25 Gigabit SFP28 ports. This pre-terminated fiber assembly integrates active optical transceivers with a lightweight cable to deliver a single-cable solution for short-reach high-speed links. It is designed to provide low latency and stable throughput between compatible network devices such as switches, servers and storage enclosures in data center and enterprise rack environments.

Advantages

The active optical cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and manual fiber termination, reducing installation time and minimizing connector loss. At 10 meters length it offers flexibility for inter-rack and intra-rack connections while keeping electromagnetic interference immunity and low heat dissipation. The integrated design supports consistent signal quality and simplifies inventory management by offering a plug-and-play connection for SFP28 ports.

Suitable for

• 25 Gigabit uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch connections in data center racks
• High-performance storage network links
• Short-reach optical interconnects where consistent low latency is required

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 active optical cable
• Nominal length: 10 meters
• Data rate: supports 25 Gbps line rate
• Connector type: SFP28 plug on both ends for direct insertion into SFP28 ports
• Media: single-mode/multi-mode optical design as implemented by the manufacturer for short-reach AOC
• Latency: low propagation delay suitable for high-performance networking
• Power consumption: low power design typical for active optical assemblies

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 ports on the devices to be connected, ensuring the latch engages securely. Verify link status on the connected devices and confirm negotiated speed and duplex. No additional transceivers or fiber termination are required. For best results, route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain and ensure connectors remain clean prior to insertion.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable according to standard optical module best practices: avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius, keep connectors capped until use, and perform visual inspection or cleaning of connector endfaces if link issues are suspected. Use this AOC in environments with compatible SFP28 ports and where a fixed 10 m optical link is appropriate.
