SFP28 AOC Cable BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-CP-BO 15m Male Connector

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-CP-BO is a 15 meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP28 male connectors on both ends, designed for 25G high-speed optical links over multimode fiber. The cable implements SFP28 to SFP28 connectivity according to MSA standards and integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules in each connector to carry 25GBASE-SR4 signals across a pre-assembled fiber link. The product is intended for deployment in data centers, switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections and other high-performance networking equipment that supports SFP28 AOCs.

Advantages

The AOC provides guaranteed electrical and optical compatibility through MSA-compliant SFP28 interfaces while eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Being an active optical assembly, it reduces electromagnetic interference and enables lower latency and higher bandwidth compared with copper alternatives at similar lengths. The integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support allows real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when the host hardware exposes these features.

Suitable for

• 25G switch-to-switch interconnects in data centers
• Server to switch high-performance connections
• Short-reach multimode optical links up to 15 m
• Environments requiring immune-to-EMI optical connectivity

Key specifications

• Length: 15 meters
• Interface: SFP28 male to SFP28 male (MSA-compliant)
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbps per link (25GBASE-SR4 compatible)
• Optical medium: multimode fiber (pre-assembled cable)
• Digital diagnostics: DDM/DOM (SFF-8472 compatible, if supported by host)
• Product colour: Green
• Weight: 0.15 kg

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-15M-CP-BO by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure both host devices support SFP28 AOC modules and, if you rely on digital diagnostics, verify that the host exposes DDM/DOM information. No additional transceivers or patch cords are required. Handle the cable by the connectors and avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling; observe minimum bend radius recommendations for multimode fiber assemblies during routing.

Recommendations

Verify hardware compatibility with SFP28 AOCs in the device documentation before deployment, enable DDM/DOM monitoring if available for proactive link health checks, and route the cable to avoid tight bends, mechanical stress, and sources of physical damage to maximize lifetime and reliability.
