AOC BlueOptics SFP28 CBO SFP28-AOC-30M-MT-BO 30 m aktiivinen optinen kaapeli

AOC BlueOptics SFP28 CBO SFP28-AOC-30M-MT-BO 30 m active optical cable is a factory-terminated optical interconnect designed for 25GbE/SFP28 compatible network equipment. The cable uses SFP28 form-factor transceivers with MPO/MT-style connectors on both ends and provides 30 meters of low-latency optical link suitable for short‑reach data center connections and high-speed uplinks where copper cabling cannot meet distance or EMI requirements.

Advantages

The active optical cable offers lightweight construction and lower insertion loss compared with long twinax copper assemblies, reducing rack weight and improving airflow. Its optical transmission provides immunity to electromagnetic interference and galvanic isolation between network devices. The use of SFP28 form-factor transceivers ensures compatibility with equipment that supports standard SFP28 ports and simplifies insertion and removal during maintenance.

Suitable for

• 25GbE server-to-switch links in data centers
• High-speed uplinks between aggregation and spine switches
• Inter-rack and intra-rack optical connections where copper reach is insufficient
• Environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 transceiver interfaces with MPO/MT-style optical connectors
• Data rate: supports 25 Gbit/s per lane (25GbE application)
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 30 meters
• Transmission: low-latency optical link with multimode characteristics suitable for short-reach
• Electrical isolation: provides galvanic isolation between connected devices
• Weight: lightweight construction compared with equivalent copper assemblies

How to use

Insert each SFP28 transceiver end into the corresponding SFP28 port on the network devices until it clicks into place, ensuring the connector keying aligns correctly. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Verify link status LEDs on both devices and configure the interfaces according to your network settings. For removal, press the transceiver release mechanism and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging the connector or port.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable using dust caps on optical connectors when not in use, and avoid exposure to liquids and direct mechanical impact. Confirm compatibility with your switch and server vendor documentation for SFP28 AOC modules, and test links after installation to ensure correct speed and signal integrity.
