## Summary description

This CBO active optical cable (model SFP28-AOC-5M) is a 5‑meter SFP28 interconnect designed for 25Gbps SFP28 ports. It provides a plug‑and‑play direct connection between compatible switches, NICs or transceivers without separate optical modules. Use cases include high‑speed server-to-switch links, rack interconnects and data center uplinks, offering long reach compared to copper DAC and reduced heat and power at both ends.

## Long description

This Active Optical Cable CBO SFP28-AOC-5M is a 5‑metre SFP28 interconnect engineered for 25Gbps SFP28 ports. It delivers a single, factory-terminated optical link that plugs directly into compatible SFP28 ports on switches, NICs or transceivers without separate optical modules. The cable provides longer reach than short copper DACs while reducing power consumption and heat at both ends, making it suitable for server-to-switch connections, rack-to-rack links and data centre uplinks where reliable 25Gbps connectivity is required.
Advantages
The AOC design eliminates the need for separate optical transceiver modules and simplifies deployment with plug-and-play operation. Active optical transmission enables longer reach and lower weight compared to copper direct-attach cables of similar performance. The cable reduces electrical power draw at endpoints and lowers thermal stress in dense deployments. Factory-terminated connectors ensure consistent optical performance and remove the need for field termination or polishing.
Suitable for
 25Gbps server-to-switch links
 Rack-to-rack interconnects in data centres
 Top-of-rack uplinks and aggregation ports
 High-density switching environments with SFP28 ports
Key specifications
 Data rate: 25 Gbps per lane (SFP28 interface)
 Connector type: SFP28 plug-to-plug, factory-terminated
 Length: 5 metres
 Transmission medium: active optical cable (AOC)
 Typical advantages: lower power consumption and reduced heat versus copper DACs
 Weight and form factor: lightweight cable suitable for high-density routing
How to use
Insert each SFP28 connector into matching SFP28 ports on the two devices until the connector latches. No separate optical transceivers are required. The link typically comes up automatically when both ends support 25Gbps operation; verify link status and speed via the devices' management interface. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the connectors; observe the manufacturer minimum bend radius for optical fibre assemblies.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, use the AOC between compatible SFP28 ports and confirm vendor compatibility if devices enforce module/vendor checks. Maintain a gentle routing path with secure cable management to avoid excessive bending or strain. Keep connectors clean and free from dust when inserting to preserve optical performance.
