## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) CBO SFP28-AOC-5M is a 5-meter SFP28-compatible cable designed for high-speed 25Gbps connections and compatibility with Palo Alto Networks equipment. It provides a reliable fiber-equivalent link between SFP28 ports for short to medium reach, reduces electromagnetic interference, and simplifies installation where fiber transceivers are not required.

## Long description

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP28-AOC-5M is a 5-metre SFP28-compatible AOC designed for 25Gbps links between SFP28 ports. The cable provides a fiber-equivalent optical connection without separate transceivers, reducing electromagnetic interference and offering a compact, flexible alternative to copper DACs for short to medium reach installations. It is compatible with Palo Alto Networks SFP28 interfaces and is intended for data centre and networking environments requiring reliable high-speed uplinks and server-to-switch or switch-to-switch interconnects.
Advantages
This Active Optical Cable supports 25Gbps full-duplex signalling while maintaining low power consumption and stable signal integrity over its 5-metre length. The integrated optical transceivers eliminate the need for separate SFP28 modules, simplifying inventory and installation. The optical medium reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared with copper alternatives, and the lightweight, flexible cable construction facilitates cable management in dense rack environments.
Suitable for
 25Gbps server-to-switch uplinks
 Switch-to-switch connections in data centre racks
 High-performance networking in enterprise and service provider environments
 Short- to medium-range optical interconnects where transceiver simplicity is preferred
Key specifications
 Nominal data rate: 25Gbps (per link, full duplex)
 Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated SFP28 connectors
 Length: 5 metres
 Connector form factor: SFP28-compatible on both ends
 Typical reach: short to medium range interconnect (designed for up to 5 m)
 Electrical characteristics: low power consumption compared to equivalent active copper solutions
 Immunity: low electromagnetic interference and reduced crosstalk due to optical link
How to use
Install the Active Optical Cable by inserting each SFP28-compatible end into the SFP28 ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring the connectors click into place and the port latch is secured where applicable. No separate transceiver modules or fibre patch cables are required. After physical installation, verify link status and speed on both devices and configure port settings in accordance with network policies. Handle the cable by the connectors and avoid tight bends; route the cable following standard data centre cable management practices.
Usage recommendations
Use this 5 m AOC for short to medium reach links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pull force; maintain bend radius recommended by the manufacturer. Check compatibility lists for Palo Alto Networks SFP28 ports and confirm firmware or platform requirements when integrating into existing systems.
