AOC CBO SFP-25G-D-AOC-3M cable óptico activo, 25 Gbit/s, 3 m

The AOC CBO SFP-25G-D-AOC-3M active optical cable provides a 25 Gbps SFP+ interface over a 3-meter optical link. Designed for short-reach interconnects, this BlueOptics cable connects switches, servers and storage devices in data center and enterprise environments. The cable integrates transceiver electronics with multimode optical fiber to deliver a compact, low-power, plug-and-play SFP+ connection without separate transceivers.

Advantages

This AOC offers high-speed 25 Gbps throughput with low latency suitable for demanding network traffic. The active design reduces host-side power and supports direct SFP+ insertion for a simple installation workflow. At 3 meters length, the cable minimizes rack congestion and eliminates the need for additional patch cords or external transceivers. Compatibility with standard SFP+ ports provides predictable link behavior and ease of replacement in existing installations.

Suitable for

• Short-reach uplinks between top-of-rack switches and aggregation switches
• Server-to-switch connections in dense rack deployments
• Storage array interconnects and SAN links requiring 25 Gbps bandwidth
• Data center and enterprise network segments where low latency and compact cabling are needed

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 25 Gbps
• Interface type: SFP+ form factor (active optical)
• Cable length: 3 m optical link
• Fiber type: multimode optical fiber with integrated transceiver modules
• Link classification: short-reach interconnect for rack and adjacent-rack connections
• Power profile: low-power active conversion (transceiver-integrated)
• Compatibility: hot-pluggable SFP+ ports, plug-and-play operation

How to use

Insert the SFP+ module ends of the active optical cable into compatible SFP+ ports on the two devices to be connected, observing proper port orientation and handling. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for a 25 Gbps link; the cable is hot-pluggable and will be recognized by equipment that supports SFP+ AOCs. Route the 3 m cable within the rack to avoid sharp bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors. No separate media converters or external transceivers are required.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m AOC for short, high-density connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bending of the optical cable, protect connector interfaces from contamination, and verify that network devices support SFP+ active optical modules for optimal performance.
