Active Optical Cable CBO AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q1M 1 m

Active Optical Cable CBO AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q1M 1 m is a factory‑terminated SFP28 active optical cable designed for short‑reach 25 Gigabit Ethernet and compatible SFP28 interfaces. The 1 m pre‑terminated link delivers optical connectivity between switches, servers and storage devices in racks and data centers with low latency and reduced power consumption compared with copper direct‑attach solutions. Its compact SFP28 form factor simplifies installation and hot‑plug replacement in modern network environments.

Advantages

This SFP28 AOC provides a predictable, factory‑tested optical connection without the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing installation time and interface density issues. The optical medium lowers electromagnetic interference and offers consistent signal integrity for 25GbE links. The 1 m length is optimized for intra‑rack and short inter‑rack connections, and the SFP28 connector ensures compatibility with a wide range of SFP28 ports supporting 25GbE and backward‑compatible rates.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Short‑reach 25GbE connectivity between switches and top‑of‑rack servers
• High‑density patching in data center cabinets
• Server-to-switch links in virtualized or hyperconverged environments
• Low‑latency interconnects for storage and compute clusters

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 active optical cable (AOC)
• Data rate: 25 Gigabit Ethernet compatible
• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: SFP28 electrical/optical interface
• Physical medium: multimode optical fiber with active electronics
• Typical use: short‑reach, intra‑rack and adjacent rack connections

How to use

Insert each SFP28 module end into the SFP28 port of the network devices until the latch clicks; verify link status via device LEDs or management interface. No additional transceivers or fiber patching is required because the cable is pre‑terminated and factory tested. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and protect the cable from excessive tensile stress; follow equipment vendor guidelines when hot‑plugging and testing link parameters.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m SFP28 AOC for short, high‑density connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Ensure firmware and port settings on connected devices support 25GbE or compatible SFP28 rates and check vendor compatibility lists if operating in mixed‑vendor environments.
