Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates at 25 Gbit/s data transfer rates, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications including data center interconnects, server-to-switch connections, and network backbone links. The fiber optic construction provides immunity to electromagnetic interference while maintaining signal integrity over the full 5-meter length.
The SFP28 connectors support hot-swappable installation and comply with industry-standard SFP28 specifications. Active Optical Cable technology incorporates electrical-to-optical conversion within the cable assembly itself, eliminating the need for separate transceivers while providing superior performance compared to passive copper alternatives.
Key Product Advantages
This AOC cable delivers several distinct advantages for network deployments requiring reliable high-speed connectivity. The active optical design provides longer reach than passive copper cables while maintaining lower latency and reduced power consumption compared to traditional fiber solutions with separate transceivers.
Simplified Deployment
The integrated AOC design eliminates compatibility concerns between separate transceivers and cables, reducing installation complexity and potential points of failure in network connections.
- No separate transceivers needed
- Plug-and-play installation
- Reduced component count
Enhanced Reliability
Fiber optic construction provides superior signal integrity with immunity to electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable performance in dense network environments with multiple adjacent cables and equipment.
- EMI immune
- Stable signal transmission
- Durable fiber construction
Deployment / Use Cases
This 25GBASE-AOC cable is ideal for connecting network switches, routers, and servers in data center environments where high-speed interconnects are required. The 5-meter length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack connections within the same cabinet or adjacent equipment racks.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting top-of-rack switches to servers, linking aggregation switches in network cores, and providing high-speed interconnects for storage arrays and network appliances. The Dell compatibility makes it particularly suitable for organizations standardized on Dell networking equipment while maintaining interoperability with other SFP28-compatible devices.

FAQ
What devices are compatible with this AOC cable?
This AOC-SFP-25G-5M-AX cable is compatible with network devices, routers, and switches featuring SFP28 interfaces. It offers specific compatibility with Dell networking equipment while maintaining standard SFP28 interoperability with equipment from other manufacturers that support the 25GBASE-AOC standard.
How does Active Optical Cable technology differ from traditional fiber solutions?
Active Optical Cable (AOC) technology integrates electrical-to-optical conversion within the cable assembly itself, eliminating the need for separate transceivers. This provides a complete plug-and-play solution that reduces compatibility concerns, simplifies installation, and often offers better performance consistency compared to traditional fiber solutions requiring matched transceivers and cables.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 25 Gbit/s (25GbE), making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications including data center interconnects, server-to-switch connections, and network backbone links that require reliable 25GbE performance over its 5-meter length.
Can this cable be used for connections longer than 5 meters?
This specific model is designed for 5-meter (16.4-foot) connections. For longer distances, you would need to select a different AOC cable with appropriate length specifications, as active optical cables are manufactured to specific length requirements to ensure optimal signal integrity and performance.
