CBO AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q1M 1m Passive Cable for SFP28 ports

The CBO AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q1M 1m Passive Cable is a 1-meter Active Optical Cable engineered for SFP28 interfaces. It provides a compact, plug-and-play optical link for short-reach connections between SFP28 ports in switches, servers and storage systems. Designed for data center and enterprise rack environments, this BlueOptics cable reduces cabling complexity while maintaining low power consumption and reliable signal integrity for 25 Gb/s links.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP28 Active Optical Cable delivers a stable 25 Gb/s connection with low insertion loss and minimal jitter, suitable for short-reach high-speed links. The 1 m length minimizes excess fiber slack and simplifies cable management in dense rack deployments. Low power consumption and plug-and-play compatibility with SFP28 ports reduce setup time and do not require separate transceivers, enabling straightforward replacement or expansion of existing links.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25 Gb/s connections between SFP28 ports in switches
• Server-to-switch and storage-to-switch links in data centers
• High-density rack environments where compact cabling is required
• Environments requiring low-power, plug-and-play optical interconnects

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP28 optical connector
• Data rate: 25 Gb/s
• Length: 1 meter
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Power consumption: low, integrated within the cable module
• Form factor: SFP28-compatible compact transceiver-style ends

How to use

Insert each SFP28 end of the AOC into the SFP28 ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring the latch engages. The cable operates in a plug-and-play manner; no additional configuration or external power source is required. Verify link status on both connected devices and check network settings according to your switch or server management interface. For predictable signal performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable free from kinks or compression.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the 1 m BlueOptics SFP28 AOC in short-reach links within a single rack or adjacent racks, maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, and ensure proper ESD handling when inserting or removing the cable to protect port electronics.
