Deployment / Use Cases
This SFP28 active optical cable is optimized for short-reach high-speed connections within data centers, enterprise network racks, and server rooms. Its 10-meter length makes it suitable for interconnecting adjacent switches, connecting servers to top-of-rack switches, or linking network equipment within the same cabinet or rack.
The cable's AOC technology provides particular advantages in environments where electromagnetic interference is a concern, as fiber optic transmission is immune to EMI. This makes it suitable for installations near power equipment or in dense server configurations where signal integrity is critical.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect SFP28 switches and servers within the same rack or adjacent racks for 25GbE networking.
High-Density Environments
Deploy in crowded server cabinets where EMI resistance and reliable high-speed connections are essential.
