## Summary description

CBO SFP28-AOC-5M is a 5-meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectivity designed for 25Gbps links. It provides a passive form-factor DAC replacement using optical transceivers integrated into the cable, suitable for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch, or high-speed uplink connections in data centers and enterprise networks. The AOC reduces electromagnetic interference and supports reliable short-reach 25GbE links.

## Long description

CBO SFP28-AOC-5M is a 5-meter active optical cable (AOC) equipped with SFP28 connectors and engineered for 25 Gbps links. The cable integrates optical transceivers inside the assembly to provide a compact, hot-pluggable direct-attach solution that replaces passive copper DACs for short-reach connections. It is intended for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch and uplink applications in data centers and enterprise networks where stable 25GbE connectivity and reduced electromagnetic interference are required.
Advantages
The Active Optical Cable offers native SFP28 compatibility with 25Gbps signaling while maintaining a slim, lightweight form factor. By incorporating optical transceivers into the cable, it minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and enables reliable signal integrity over the 5 m link. The AOC design supports hot-pluggable deployment and eliminates the need for separate transceiver modules, simplifying inventory and installation in dense rack environments.
Suitable for
 Server-to-switch connections in data centers
 Switch-to-switch links for aggregation and spine-leaf topologies
 High-speed uplinks between switches or routers
 Short-reach 25GbE links where reduced EMI is required
Key specifications
 Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 compatible
 Nominal length: 5 meters
 Data rate: 25 Gbps per channel (25GbE)
 Cable type: Active optical cable with integrated transceivers
 Signal medium: Optical fiber within AOC assembly
 Form factor: Direct-attach, hot-pluggable
 Typical use: Short-reach links in rack and spine-leaf deployments
How to use
Install the AOC by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that the connected devices are compatible with SFP28 AOC modules. Configure the network interfaces on the connected devices according to your switch or server operating system requirements, and verify link status through device management or CLI tools. No separate transceiver installation is required because the optical transceivers are integrated in the cable assembly.
Usage recommendations
 Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling; follow minimum bend radius guidelines to prevent signal degradation. Use in clean rack environments and ensure ports and connectors are free from dust before insertion. For interoperability, verify device compatibility with SFP28 active optical cables and update device firmware if required for optimal link negotiation.
