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

The BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-CN-BO is a 10 m active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for 25G high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber. The cable integrates transmitters and receivers at each end and conforms to SFP28 AOC MSA mechanical and electrical specifications. It supports 25GBASE-SR4-type applications, offers digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time link parameters, and is intended for deployment in data centers, high-performance computing and other environments requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnects.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP28 AOC delivers 25 Gbps per lane performance across a pre-terminated 10 m multimode link while avoiding patch-panel losses and EMI sensitivity associated with copper solutions. Built to MSA standards, the cable provides plug-and-play compatibility with systems that accept SFP28 AOC modules and includes DDM/DOM support for monitoring supply voltage, laser bias current, transmitted and received optical power, and temperature. Components are selected to meet industry reliability targets, contributing to long operational life and reduced maintenance.

Suitable for

• Data center server-to-switch and switch-to-switch short-range interconnects
• High-performance computing clusters and storage area networks
• Top-of-rack and leaf-spine network architectures
• Environments requiring low-latency 25G links with EMI immunity

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP28 male to SFP28 male
• Length: 10 meters
• Supported data rate: up to 25 Gbps per channel (25GBASE class)
• Fiber type: multimode fiber with integrated optical transceivers
• Form factor: active optical cable (pre-terminated, no field splicing)
• Diagnostic: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472
• Compliance: designed to meet SFP28 AOC MSA mechanical/electrical requirements and common industrial standards

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP28-AOC-10M-CN-BO by plugging each SFP28 connector into the compatible SFP28 ports of your networking devices until the latch clicks. Ensure the host devices support SFP28 AOC modules and, if you need diagnostics, that DDM/DOM is enabled in the hardware or management software. No additional fiber patching or connector cleaning is required for the pre-assembled cable; handle the connectors carefully to avoid contamination and inspect port guides before insertion.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short-reach fixed-length links within racks or between adjacent racks. Verify host compatibility with SFP28 AOC modules and enable DDM/DOM in your monitoring system to track link health. Avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the cable; maintain recommended bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors.
