AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q2M 2M aktiivinen optinen kaapeli, CBO SFP28-AOC-2M-SO-BO

AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q2M is a 2-meter active optical cable designed for SFP28 ports to provide 25GbE connectivity between compatible network devices. This plug-and-play cable integrates optical transceivers within a single assembly, enabling direct connections between servers, switches and other SFP28-enabled equipment without separate modules. The AOC construction reduces power consumption and physical space compared with equivalent copper direct attach cables, making it suitable for dense data center and rack environments.

Advantages

The active optical cable offers low-latency, high-bandwidth data transmission over a 2 m length, while maintaining signal integrity for 25 Gigabit Ethernet links. Its integrated design eliminates the need for separate transceivers and reduces heat and power draw in tightly packed systems. The cable's lightweight, flexible jacket simplifies cable routing in racks and patch panels and helps minimize electromagnetic interference that can affect copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between servers and top-of-rack or spine switches
• Interconnects within data center racks and cabinets
• High-density network environments where space and power savings are required
• Upgrading or expanding 25GbE network links in enterprise and service provider deployments

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP28 to SFP28 active optical cable
• Supported data rate: 25 Gigabit Ethernet
• Cable length: 2 meters
• Connector orientation: hot-pluggable SFP28
• Cable type: multimode active optical assembly
• Typical use: short-reach server, switch and data center interconnects

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure ports are powered and recognized by the host devices; no separate transceivers or fiber patching is required. Verify link status and negotiated speed in the device management interface. For best performance, avoid tight bends in the cable and route it to prevent mechanical strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Choose AOC SFP28 BlueOptics for short, high-speed links inside racks when 25GbE performance, reduced power draw and simplified installation are priorities. Confirm device compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules and check firmware or vendor notes for any platform-specific restrictions before deployment.
