Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-25G-D-AOC-7M-DT 25Gbps 7m SFP+ direct-attach

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-25G-D-AOC-7M-DT 25Gbps 7m SFP+ direct-attach is a 7-metre active optical cable in an SFP+ form factor that supports 25Gbps data transmission. The cable is designed for short to mid-range interconnects between switches, servers and other network equipment, providing fiber-optic signal transmission with low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The plug-and-play SFP+ modules integrate optical transceivers and a pre-terminated fiber link in a single assembly to simplify installation in data centre and enterprise environments.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers a high data rate of 25Gbps in a compact SFP+ direct-attach configuration, enabling reliable high-speed links without the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. The optical medium reduces sensitivity to electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, which improves signal integrity in dense rack environments. The 7-metre length is suitable for typical in-rack and across-rack connections while keeping cable bulk and weight low. The product’s plug-and-play design and standard SFP+ interface allow quick deployment and compatibility with equipment that supports SFP+ direct-attach optics.

Suitable for

• 25Gbps uplinks and server-to-switch connections in data centres
• High-density rack interconnects where EMI immunity is required
• Enterprise network aggregation and spine-leaf topologies
• Short- to mid-range connections between network devices (up to 7 m)

Key specifications

• Data rate: 25 Gbps
• Form factor: SFP+ direct-attach (integrated active optical cable)
• Length: 7 metres
• Media: multimode optical link with integrated transceivers
• Latency: low, suitable for high-performance networking
• Connector compatibility: standard SFP+ ports
• Power consumption: low, powered through SFP+ interface

How to use

Install the active optical cable by inserting each SFP+ end into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the connectors click into place. Ensure devices are powered off or follow hot-swap guidelines of the equipment manufacturer if inserting while powered. After physical insertion, verify link status on both ends and confirm negotiated speed of 25Gbps through the switch or server management interface. No additional transceivers or patch cords are required; the cable is factory-terminated and ready for immediate use.

Recommendations

Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force on the cable; follow minimum bend radius recommendations for fibre optic links and route cables to prevent strain. Use in environment-controlled rack spaces and keep connectors free of dust; if connectors are exposed before installation, protect them with dust caps. Verify that your network equipment supports SFP+ active optical direct-attach modules and 25Gbps link training to ensure compatibility.
