Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates at 25 Gbit/s per channel, making it suitable for 25GbE applications in modern data centers. The SFP28 connectors provide a hot-pluggable interface that supports both electrical and optical signaling, though this cable uses optical signaling exclusively for its fiber optic core.
The 10-meter length (32.8 ft) offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections where longer reach is required beyond typical copper limitations. Active Optical Technology enables this extended reach while maintaining signal quality, as the integrated transceivers amplify and condition the optical signal along the cable.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom active optical cable delivers several distinct advantages for network infrastructure deployments. The integrated design reduces component count and simplifies inventory management compared to separate transceiver and fiber cable solutions.
Simplified Connectivity
The pre-terminated SFP28 connectors and integrated optics eliminate the need for separate transceiver modules, reducing installation time and potential configuration errors.
- No separate transceivers required
- Pre-terminated ends ready for deployment
- Reduced points of failure in the signal path
Cisco Compatibility
Specifically tested and verified for compatibility with Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches, ensuring reliable performance in Cisco networking environments.
- Verified for Nexus 9000 Series
- Supports Modular 9500 platforms
- Works with Fixed 9300 switches
Extended Reach
The 10-meter length provides greater connection flexibility than many copper alternatives, while active optics maintain signal integrity over the entire distance.
- 10-meter reach capability
- Active signal conditioning
- Superior to copper at this distance
Deployment / Use Cases
This active optical cable is ideal for 25GbE connections in enterprise data centers, cloud infrastructure, and high-performance computing environments. The 10-meter length makes it particularly useful for connections between adjacent racks or within larger network cabinets where standard-length cables might be insufficient.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting top-of-rack switches to aggregation switches, linking spine and leaf switches in fabric architectures, or providing high-speed interconnects between network appliances and core switching infrastructure. The Cisco Nexus 9000 Series compatibility makes this cable a practical choice for organizations standardizing on Cisco networking equipment for their 25GbE deployments.

FAQ
What is the length of this Axiom active optical cable?
This Axiom active optical cable measures 10 meters in length, which equals 32.8 feet. This extended reach makes it suitable for connections between adjacent equipment racks or within larger network cabinets where standard patch cables might be too short.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is specifically compatible with Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches, including the Modular 9500 and Fixed 9300 models. It supports connections between switches and other network devices that accept SFP28 interfaces, making it suitable for various 25GbE networking applications.
What does Active Optical Technology (AOT) mean for this cable?
Active Optical Technology means the cable has integrated optical transceivers built into the connector ends. This eliminates the need for separate transceiver modules, simplifies deployment, reduces potential points of failure, and ensures optimal signal integrity over the full 10-meter cable length.
What data transfer rate does this cable support?
This cable supports data transfer rates of 25 Gbit/s, making it suitable for 25GbE network applications. This bandwidth is ideal for modern data center connections, high-performance computing links, and enterprise network infrastructure requiring higher throughput than traditional 10GbE solutions.
