BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-25M-CP-BO SFP28 Active Optical Cable, 25 m, mint colour

BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-25M-CP-BO is an active optical cable with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 25 metre high-speed links in data centre and enterprise networks. The cable uses active optical transceivers integrated into each connector to transmit and receive multi-mode optical signals, supporting 25G data rates over a lightweight, mint-coloured jacket. Its male-to-male SFP28 form factor fits SFP28 ports for short-reach 25GBASE-SR4 and similar applications where low latency and reliable high bandwidth are required.

Advantages

The integrated transceiver design eliminates the need for separate optical modules and patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing component count. With a 25 m length and SFP28-to-SFP28 connectivity, the cable provides a ready-made solution for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links that require 25 Gbit/s throughput. The mint-coloured jacket and lightweight construction (approximately 0.15 kg) make the cable easy to route and identify within dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects between switches and servers
• High-speed uplinks and aggregation ports supporting 25G
• Server-to-switch and top-of-rack connections
• Environments requiring compact, low-weight optical cabling

Key specifications

• Cable length: 25 m
• Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (male-to-male)
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s
• Transmission medium: active optical, multimode fiber with integrated TX/RX in connectors
• Jacket colour: mint
• Approximate weight: 0.15 kg

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 ports until the latch engages, ensuring proper orientation and secure seating. Use with network equipment that supports SFP28 AOC connectivity and 25GBASE-SR or equivalent 25G protocols. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; follow equipment vendor guidelines for SFP28 port handling and hot-plug procedures. No additional transceivers or patch cables are required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify that your switches, servers or storage systems officially support SFP28 AOC modules and 25G link speeds. Maintain bend radius recommendations for multimode optical cables, keep connectors clean and protected when not in use, and label the mint-coloured cable in patching diagrams to simplify identification in dense racks.
