## Summary description

Active optical cable (AOC) AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q20M by CBO, 20 meters, designed for SFP28 ports and 25GbE high-speed connections. Provides low-latency, electrical-to-optical link between compatible switches, NICs or servers across data centers or server racks. Suited for short to mid-range interconnects where reduced EMI, longer reach than copper, and simplified cabling are needed.

## Long description

AOC SFP28 BlueOptics BO272703Q20M 20 m active optical cable for 25GbE connections is a factory-terminated active optical cable designed for use with SFP28 ports. It provides an electrical-to-optical connection for 25 Gigabit Ethernet links between compatible switches, network interface cards and servers. With a 20 meter reach and optical transmission, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper links while offering longer reach and simpler cabling for short- to mid-range data center and rack-to-rack interconnects.
Advantages
The active optical design delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth performance suitable for 25GbE networks. Optical transmission reduces susceptibility to EMI and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in dense cabling environments. The 20 m length balances reach and manageability, allowing flexible placement of equipment across racks or within the same room without additional transceivers or fiber patching. Factory termination ensures consistent performance and simpler installation compared with field-terminated fiber.
Suitable for
 25 Gigabit Ethernet interconnects between switches and servers
 Top-of-rack and end-of-row connections in data centers
 Server-to-switch and NIC connections where reduced EMI is required
 Short- to mid-range optical links inside the same facility or campus
Key specifications
 Connector type: SFP28 form-factor optical connectors (factory-terminated)
 Supported data rate: 25 Gbit/s per channel
 Cable type: active multi-mode optical assembly
 Length: 20 meters
 Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for high-throughput networks
 EMI performance: optical link reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper
 Typical usage environment: data centers, server rooms, rack-to-rack links
How to use
Install the active optical cable by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the network devices until the connector latches. Ensure that devices are powered down or adhere to hot-plug procedures recommended by the equipment vendor if connecting while live. Verify link status on both ends through device LEDs or management interfaces. No additional fiber patching or transceivers are required when both ends support SFP28 AOC connections. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to maintain optical performance.
Usage recommendations
Use this 20 m active optical cable in environments where 25GbE throughput, low latency and reduced EMI are priorities. Avoid repeated sharp bends and protect connector endfaces from contamination. For mixed-vendor environments, confirm SFP28 AOC compatibility with the switch or NIC vendor compatibility list before deployment.
