CBO AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q1M active optical cable 1 m

Active optical cable CBO AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q1M is a 1 m long, factory-terminated fiber link designed for SFP28 ports. The cable provides a direct optical connection between compatible network devices and is intended for short-reach, high-speed environments where space efficiency, low latency and reliable signal integrity are required. The fixed plug-and-play design eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords while supporting compact cable management in racks and server rooms.

Advantages

The BlueOptics active optical cable delivers consistent signal performance with minimal insertion loss, reduced electromagnetic interference and lower power consumption compared with some electrical copper alternatives. Its pre-terminated SFP28 interfaces simplify installation and reduce the number of field terminations. The short 1 m length limits excess slack and supports tidy routing in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between SFP28 ports on switches and servers
• Short-reach links in data centers and server racks
• High-speed interconnects requiring low latency and compact cabling
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is important

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 factory-terminated optical interfaces
• Length: 1 metre
• Transmission medium: active optical fiber
• Application: short-reach 25 Gbps class links (SFP28 form factor)
• Form factor: fixed AOC with integrated transceiver modules
• Cabling advantage: compact, low-profile routing for dense racks

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the network devices until they click into place. Ensure both devices support active optical cable connections and are powered off or follow hot-swap guidelines from the device manufacturer if inserting connectors while powered. Route the 1 m cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the cable bend radius recommended for optical fiber. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required, making the connection immediate after seating the connectors and configuring device interfaces as needed.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify compatibility with the device vendor's SFP28 port specifications and firmware support. Avoid excessive bending, pulling or crushing of the cable; keep the cable path clear of sharp edges and high-heat sources. Use the 1 m length for short, direct links inside racks or between adjacent equipment to maintain tidy cabling and minimal latency.
