Cable SFP28 AOC BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-2M-PS-BO 2 m conector/conector

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-2M-PS-BO is a 2-meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 25G data transmission over multimode fiber. Engineered to meet SFP28 AOC MSA standards, this cable integrates a transmitter and receiver on each module to enable simultaneous send and receive operations. The pre-assembled design removes the need for patching and reduces connector-related attenuation, offering a compact, low-latency link suitable for data centers and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

The cable supports 25GBASE applications and is compatible with equipment that accepts SFP28 AOC modules, delivering stable optical links with low electromagnetic interference sensitivity. Built using high-quality components and conforming to industry manufacturing standards, it provides digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time parameters such as voltage, temperature and optical power. The plug-and-play form factor simplifies installation and maintenance while offering long service life and high availability.

Suitable for

• 25G switch-to-switch and switch-to-server uplinks in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low latency
• Storage systems and SAN connections supporting 25G optical links
• Short-reach multimode fiber links within racks or adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28 to SFP28 (active optical cable)
• Length: 2 meters
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per channel (25GBASE)
• Fiber type: multimode (AOC assembly)
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM compliant (MSA SFF-8472)
• Compliance: MSA SFP28 AOC mechanical/electrical/functional compliance; CE and RoHS referenced

How to use

Insert each SFP28 module into compatible SFP28 ports on network equipment until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Verify link status on connected devices and, if available, review DDM/DOM readings to confirm optical power and temperature parameters. Use the cable for short-reach connections inside racks or between adjacent racks and avoid tight bends at the cable assemblies to maintain optical performance. Ensure connected hardware supports SFP28 AOC modules and the desired 25G data rates.

Recommendations

Handle the AOC by its transceiver housings and avoid excessive bending or twisting of the pre-assembled cable. Confirm DDM/DOM support on your devices before relying on diagnostic readings. For optimal reliability, install the cable in rack paths with controlled bend radius and avoid exposure to mechanical stress or strong electromagnetic environments.
