SFP28 Optical Cable CBO AFBR-8CER10Z 10 m, 25 Gbps

SFP28 Optical Cable CBO AFBR-8CER10Z 10 m, 25 Gbps is a fixed-length passive optical interconnect designed for 25 Gbps links between SFP28-compatible ports and modules. At 10 meters length, the cable provides a short-reach fiber connection suitable for data center racks, switch-to-server connections, and high-density networking environments where a stable 25 Gbps optical channel is required. Constructed for single-mode or specified compatibility with SFP28 modules, the cable minimizes signal loss and supports straightforward plug-and-play installation with standard SFP28 transceivers.

Advantages

The cable offers a reliable 25 Gbps optical link with fixed length for predictable signal performance and easier cable management. Passive construction eliminates the need for external power and reduces points of failure. Its 10 m length balances reach and manageability for rack-level and adjacent-rack connections, while compatibility with standard SFP28 interfaces ensures interoperability with a wide range of switches and servers. The design focuses on low insertion loss and stable transmission for short-reach data center applications.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row switch-to-server connections
• Short-reach interconnects within data center racks and adjacent racks
• High-density 25 Gbps uplinks between SFP28 ports and modules
• Replacement or consolidation of copper links where optical performance is required

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 25 Gbps
• Cable type: passive optical fixed-length interconnect
• Length: 10 meters
• Connector/interface: SFP28-compatible optical interfaces
• Application: short-reach data center links and rack-to-rack connections
• Transmission medium: optical fiber designed for single-mode SFP28 transceivers (as required by connected modules)

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each end into the SFP28 port or transceiver module until it seats securely. Ensure transceivers and ports are powered down or follow hot‑swap guidelines from your equipment vendor if live insertion is supported. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain recommended bend radius for optical fiber. Verify link status on connected devices and confirm 25 Gbps operation through device diagnostics or management interfaces.

Usage recommendations

To ensure optimal performance, use the cable with compatible SFP28 transceivers and equipment that support 25 Gbps optical links. Keep connectors clean and protected when not in use, avoid excessive bending or tension, and document cable routing for maintenance. For critical links, verify insertion loss and link integrity during commissioning and monitor link status periodically.
