SFP28 AOC kabel BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-BR-BO 10m samec/samec

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-BR-BO is a 10m active optical cable with SFP28 connectors on both ends designed for high-speed short-reach links. It supports 25GBASE-SR4 transmission over multimode fiber and includes integrated transmitter and receiver modules for optical signal conversion. The cable follows SFP28 AOC MSA mechanical and electrical specifications, making it compatible with equipment that accepts SFP28 AOC modules and is intended for data center and high-performance computing environments where reliable, low-latency fiber connections are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides a 25 Gbit/s capable link on a pre-assembled 10 meter multimode fiber cable, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. The integrated design reduces electromagnetic interference, simplifies installation by offering plug-and-play SFP28 to SFP28 connectivity, and supports digital diagnostic monitoring for remote status information such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, received power and temperature. The cable is manufactured to industry MSA guidelines and uses components selected to ensure extended operational life.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 25GbE connections between switches and top-of-rack devices in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and server interconnects requiring low latency
• Storage systems and SAN environments using 25G optical links
• Environments where EMI immunity and simplified cabling are priorities

Key specifications

• Length: 10 meters
• Connector type: SFP28 (male) to SFP28 (male)
• Data rate: up to 25 Gbit/s per the 25GBASE-SR4 application
• Medium: multimode fiber with active optical transceivers integrated
• Color: aqua
• Weight: approximately 0.15 kg
• Supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) per MSA SFF-8472
• Compliant with common industry directives (CE, RoHS) and MSA mechanical/electrical specifications

How to use

Insert each SFP28 connector into compatible SFP28 ports on the devices you want to interconnect, ensuring the latch engages securely. Verify that the connected hardware supports SFP28 AOC modules and, if required, enable or check DDM/DOM readings via the management interface to monitor operational parameters. No additional patching or fiber cleaning is needed for the pre-terminated AOC; handle the cable to avoid tight bends and protect the connectors when not in use.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, maintain bend radii according to manufacturer guidance, avoid exposure to mechanical stress or excessive heat, and confirm firmware or hardware compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules in the target devices. Use the DDM/DOM information for proactive link monitoring and troubleshooting.
