SFP28-AOC-kaapeli BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-2M-BC-BO 2m uros/uros

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-2M-BC-BO is a 2 m active optical cable with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 25G data transmission over multimode fiber. The cable supports SFP28-to-SFP28 connections according to MSA standards and integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end to carry optical signals for high-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications. The Aqua-coloured cable weighs approximately 0.15 kg and is intended for short-reach interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing environments where low latency and high availability are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers 25G performance with pre-assembled multimode fiber and SFP28 interfaces, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patching. The integrated design reduces insertion loss and exposure to electromagnetic interference (EMI), while support for Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) allows real-time access to parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when the host hardware supports it. Components are selected to meet MSA specifications to provide a consistent interoperable solution for systems that accept SFP28 AOCs.

Suitable for

• Short-reach server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and storage system connections
• Environments requiring 25GBASE-SR4-compatible optical links with low latency

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 to SFP28 active optical cable
• Nominal length: 2 meters
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbps per link
• Fiber type: multimode fiber (pre-assembled AOC)
• Connector type: SFP28 duplex ends
• Colour: aqua
• Approximate weight: 0.15 kg
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when host provides support

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the networking devices until the latch engages. Verify that the host devices support SFP28 AOC modules and, if DDM/DOM is required, that the hardware and software stack expose diagnostic information. After physical installation, check link status on the switches or servers and confirm negotiated speed and link integrity through management interfaces. Avoid sharp bends in the cable and ensure the cable is routed to prevent mechanical stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics SFP28 2 m AOC for short-range 25G connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid exposure to strong electromagnetic fields and maintain bend radii recommended for multimode fiber cables. For monitoring and troubleshooting, enable DDM/DOM in supported systems to read real-time optical and electrical parameters.
