FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this Axiom active optical cable?
This Axiom AOC-SFP-25G-20M-AX cable supports data transfer rates up to 25 Gbit/s, making it compatible with 25 Gigabit Ethernet standards. The fiber optic construction and Active Optical Technology ensure consistent performance across the entire 65.6-foot length without signal degradation.
What types of devices are compatible with this SFP28 active optical cable?
This cable is designed for network devices, switches, and routers that feature SFP28 ports. It is specifically Dell-compatible, ensuring seamless integration with Dell networking equipment, while also working with other brands that support the 25GBASE-AOC standard and SFP28 interface.
How does Active Optical Technology differ from traditional copper or passive optical cables?
Active Optical Technology integrates electrical-to-optical conversion directly into the cable assembly, providing signal regeneration and extended reach capabilities. Unlike passive optical cables that simply transmit light, or copper cables limited by electromagnetic interference, AOT cables maintain signal integrity over longer distances while offering plug-and-play simplicity.
What is the cable length and how does it impact deployment?
This cable measures 65.6 feet (20 meters), providing sufficient length for connections between racks, across data center aisles, or in distributed network environments. The active optical design ensures that signal quality remains consistent across this extended distance, unlike passive solutions that might experience attenuation.
