Cable óptico activo CBO SFP28-AOC-2M-NG-BO 2 m SFP28 dúplex para conexiones de 25Gb/s

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP28-AOC-2M-NG-BO is a 2-meter SFP28 duplex cable engineered for 25Gb/s links between compatible SFP28 ports on switches, network interface cards and servers. The pre-terminated SFP28 connectors and optical fiber core enable low-latency, low-power transmission over a short reach, reducing cable management complexity compared with separate transceivers and patch cords. The cable supports hot-plug installation and is suitable for dense rack and data center environments where reliable, high-speed interconnects are required.

Advantages

The cable provides a ready-to-install SFP28 AOC solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patching, simplifying deployment and minimizing insertion loss. Its optical construction delivers lower power consumption and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper DACs, while the fixed-length design ensures predictable signal integrity and consistent performance over the specified 2 m reach. The pre-terminated connectors and durable sheath improve handling and reduce the risk of mating errors during installation.

Suitable for

• Short-reach uplinks between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Direct connections between servers and switches with SFP28 ports
• High-density data center patching where space and power efficiency are important
• Low-latency links for storage, virtualization and high-performance computing clusters

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 duplex, hot-pluggable
• Data rate: designed for 25 Gbps per lane
• Length: 2 meters fixed
• Transmission medium: active optical cable with duplex fiber
• Power profile: low-power optical transmission suitable for rack environments
• Connector type: pre-terminated SFP28 connectors on both ends

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 ports on the devices until the connectors latch securely. No additional configuration or external transceivers are required; the devices should recognize the active optical connection if they support SFP28 AOC modules. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and compressive stress, maintaining the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for optical fiber. For removal, depress the latch and extract the connector carefully to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Use the cable within typical rack and patching temperatures and keep the connectors clean and capped when not in use. Verify compatibility with device vendors’ supported SFP28 AOC modules and ensure firmware or driver updates are applied where required for interoperability.
