SFP28 AOC Cable BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-CO-BO 10m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-CO-BO is a 10 m active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed short-reach links. It supports 25G data rates using multi-mode optical transmission and integrates transceiver electronics at each connector to convert between electrical and optical signals. The cable is intended for use in networking equipment that accepts SFP28 AOC modules and provides a pre-assembled fiber connection that reduces patching, cleaning and insertion loss compared with discrete fiber patch cords.

Advantages

This 10 m SFP28 AOC offers predictable 25G performance over a factory-terminated connection with low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The BlueOptics AOC is manufactured to MSA-compliant SFP28 specifications and includes digital diagnostics support for real-time monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power, and temperature. The cable is lightweight and comes in an aqua colour housing, offering ease of handling and long service life when used within specified operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25G interconnects in data centers and racks
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links supporting SFP28 ports
• High-performance computing clusters and storage system interconnects
• Environments requiring EMI-immune optical connections

• Operating features: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compatible
• Typical housing colour: aqua
• Weight: approx. 0.15 kg

How to use

Install the AOC by plugging each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring proper seating until the retention latch engages. Verify that the host hardware supports SFP28 AOC modules and, if required, enable or allow the digital diagnostics interface in the device management software to read real-time parameters. Avoid bending the cable sharply; follow standard fiber best practices for bend radius and strain relief. No field termination or patching is required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the AOC within the supported ambient temperature range of your networking equipment, confirm SFP28 compatibility with the device vendor, and consult device firmware or driver guidance if link negotiation issues occur. Store and route the cable to prevent tight bends and mechanical stress; inspect connectors for contamination before insertion.
