Cable óptico activo AOC CBO JNP-25G-AOC-2M 25G, 2 m

The AOC CBO JNP-25G-AOC-2M 25G Active Optical Cable, 2 m is a fixed-length active optical assembly that delivers 25 Gbps data transmission over a 2-metre multimode fiber link. Built for short-reach interconnects, this cable is intended for direct connections between servers, switches and other compatible network devices in data centre topologies. The design reduces electromagnetic interference and offers lower insertion loss and latency compared with equivalent copper twinax solutions, while simplifying cable management in dense rack installations.

Advantages

This 25G Active Optical Cable provides stable high-speed throughput and consistent signal integrity over the specified 2 m length. Its active transceivers are integrated into the cable ends for plug-and-play operation with compatible ports, eliminating the need for separate SFP modules. The fixed-length construction reduces clutter and improves airflow in racks, and the optical medium removes susceptibility to electrical noise and grounding issues common with copper cabling.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch short-reach connections in data centres
• High-density rack environments where simplified cabling is required
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects for storage and compute clusters

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 25 Gbps
• Connector type: integrated active SFP-style optical interfaces
• Cable length: 2 metres
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fiber with active optical transceivers
• Typical use: short-reach (data centre/server rack) links
• EMI immunity: optical medium eliminates susceptibility to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Verify port compatibility on both network devices before installation and ensure devices support 25G active optical cables. Route the 2 m AOC along the rack management pathways to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius where specified. Insert each integrated connector firmly into the corresponding port until it latches, then confirm link status through device LEDs or network management interfaces. To remove, release the connector latch and withdraw the cable straight out to avoid stressing the fiber termination.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable by supporting the connectors and avoiding tight bends or kinks. Use this 25G AOC for short-reach interconnects within the same rack or adjacent racks; for longer distances consider appropriate optical transceivers with fibre patch cabling. Observe electrostatic discharge precautions when handling network equipment and keep connector endfaces clean and free of dust to maintain optimal signal performance.
