Cable óptico activo CBO AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q2M 2 m

The CBO AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q2M Active Optical Cable 2 m is a factory-terminated SFP28 to SFP28 fiber assembly designed for 25Gbps links. With a 2 meter length and active optical transceivers integrated in each end, this AOC provides a low-latency, low-power connection alternative to copper direct-attach cables. The cable is intended for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks where extended reach, reduced electromagnetic interference and simplified hot-plug deployment are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers higher reach than short copper DACs while maintaining the small form factor of SFP28 ports. The integrated optical transceivers reduce susceptibility to EMI and crosstalk, and the factory termination ensures consistent optical performance and plug-and-play installation. Low power consumption and compact routing make it suitable for dense rack environments and modern network equipment supporting 25Gbps lanes.

Suitable for

• 25Gbps links between servers and top-of-rack switches
• Interconnects for storage arrays and SAN switches
• High-density patching in data center racks and network closets
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 transceiver modules integrated at both ends
• Nominal bandwidth: 25 Gigabits per second per lane
• Length: 2 meters
• Cable type: Active optical fiber assembly (factory-terminated)
• Latency: low, suitable for high-performance networking
• Power: low-power transceiver design compared to active copper alternatives
• EMI performance: immune to typical electromagnetic interference affecting copper cables

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector end into compatible SFP28 ports on network devices until the module latches. Ensure that devices are powered and that port settings (speed and lane configuration) match the 25Gbps link requirements. The factory-terminated AOC requires no field termination; verify link status via switch or host diagnostics and replace or reseat the cable if the link does not establish. Follow equipment vendor guidelines for hot-plugging SFP28 modules to avoid transient errors.

Recommendations

Use the AOC within its specified bend radius and avoid repeated tight bends near the connectors. Route the 2 m cable to minimize mechanical strain and keep it away from sharp edges and heat sources. For best interoperability, confirm that connected devices support SFP28 AOCs and 25Gbps operation; when mixing vendors, check device compatibility lists or perform a short interoperability test before deployment into production.
