Cable óptico activo CBO InfiniBand SFP28 CBL-25GSFP28-AOC-10M-BO 10m Aqua

CBO InfiniBand SFP28 Active Optical Cable CBL-25GSFP28-AOC-10M-BO 10m Aqua is a factory-terminated active optical cable designed for short-reach, high-throughput interconnects in data centres and high-performance computing environments. The 10-metre assembly uses SFP28-compatible transceivers integrated into the cable ends to deliver reliable 25 Gb/s per lane connectivity with low latency and consistent signal integrity. The aqua-coloured jacket provides visual identification for InfiniBand or 25 Gb/s links and the pre-terminated design simplifies installation between servers, switches and storage devices.

Advantages

The active optical cable offers high bandwidth density with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives, enabling longer reach at 25 Gb/s per lane while keeping power consumption and heat generation low. Integration of SFP28 form-factor transceivers removes the need for separate transceiver modules and reduces cabling complexity. The 10 m length is suitable for typical rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections in modern data centre layouts, and the factory-terminated build ensures consistent performance and plug-and-play deployment.

How to use

Install the CBO SFP28 AOC by inserting each SFP28 end into compatible SFP28 ports on network switches, servers or storage appliances. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines provided by the equipment manufacturer when inserting or removing transceivers. Verify link status through the host devices and confirm negotiated speed and lane configuration. The pre-terminated cable requires no additional transceiver purchases or field termination.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. Use this 10 m AOC for rack-to-rack or row-level connections; for longer distances consider fibre-optic transceiver modules with appropriate fibre cabling. Verify compatibility with your switch or host vendor for full feature support such as link training and error reporting.
