FAQ
What is the length of this Axiom Active Optical Cable?
The cable is 20 meters long, which equals 65.6 feet. This length provides flexibility for connecting network equipment across standard rack distances in data centers or enterprise environments, supporting layouts where devices may be spaced apart within a rack or between adjacent racks.
What type of connectors does this cable use?
Both ends of the cable feature SFP28 network connectors, with one SFP28 connector on each end. SFP28 is a common form factor for 25 Gigabit Ethernet, allowing hot-swappable installation in compatible network devices like switches, routers, and network modules for easy maintenance and upgrades.
Is this cable compatible with Cisco equipment?
Yes, this cable is designed for compatibility with Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series 25G network modules and Catalyst 9200L 25G fixed uplink models. It ensures seamless integration in Cisco-based networks, providing a reliable uplink solution for enterprise deployments without requiring additional adapters or configuration.
What does AOC technology mean for this cable?
AOC stands for Active Optical Cable, which means the cable actively converts electrical signals to optical signals and back. This technology enables longer-distance transmission with lower latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared to passive copper cables, making it ideal for high-performance networking where signal integrity is critical.
