Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates at 25 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as server-to-switch connections, storage area networks, and data center interconnects. The SFP28 connectors provide a hot-pluggable interface that supports both 25 Gigabit Ethernet and 32G Fibre Channel protocols.
The cable uses multimode fiber optic technology with Active Optical Technology (AOT) to maintain signal quality over the full 32.8-foot length. This technology eliminates the signal degradation that can occur with passive copper cables at higher speeds and longer distances.
Key Product Advantages
This cable offers several advantages for network administrators and data center operators. The active optical design provides superior performance compared to passive direct attach copper cables, particularly in environments with electromagnetic interference or where longer cable runs are required.
High-Speed Connectivity
Delivers 25 Gbit/s throughput for demanding applications, reducing bottlenecks in network infrastructure.
- Supports 25GbE and 32G FC protocols
- Ideal for server and storage connections
Reliable Performance
Active Optical Technology ensures consistent signal quality over the entire cable length, minimizing data errors and retransmissions.
- Better signal integrity than copper cables
- Reduced electromagnetic interference
Easy Integration
Hot-pluggable SFP28 connectors and Juniper compatibility make this cable simple to deploy in existing network environments.
- No external power required
- Standard SFP28 form factor
Deployment / Use Cases
This active optical cable is ideal for connecting network switches to servers, storage arrays, or other switches in data center environments. The 32.8-foot length provides flexibility in rack layout and cable management, while the 25 Gbit/s bandwidth supports high-throughput applications.
Common deployment scenarios include top-of-rack switching configurations, spine-leaf architectures, and storage network connections. The cable is particularly useful in environments where electromagnetic interference from power cables or other equipment could degrade copper cable performance.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect switches within the same rack or between adjacent racks with reliable high-speed links.
Server-to-Switch Connections
Provide high-bandwidth connectivity for servers running virtualized workloads or database applications.

FAQ
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This Axiom active optical cable is specifically designed to be Juniper compatible, meaning it works with Juniper network switches and routers that have SFP28 ports. It can also be used with other network devices that support the SFP28 form factor and 25 Gbit/s data rates, though compatibility should be verified with the specific device manufacturer.
What is the advantage of Active Optical Technology?
Active Optical Technology (AOT) converts electrical signals to optical signals within the cable assembly, providing better signal integrity over longer distances compared to passive copper cables. This technology reduces signal degradation, minimizes electromagnetic interference, and enables reliable 25 Gbit/s performance across the full 32.8-foot cable length without requiring external power sources.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 25 Gbit/s (25 Gigabits per second), which is suitable for 25 Gigabit Ethernet and 32G Fibre Channel applications. This high bandwidth makes it ideal for connecting servers to switches, storage arrays, or between switches in modern data center environments where high throughput is essential.
How long is the cable and what connectors does it use?
The cable measures 32.8 feet (approximately 10 meters) in length and features SFP28 network connectors on both ends. Each end has a single SFP28 connector, making it a straight-through cable suitable for connecting two devices with SFP28 ports. The connectors are hot-pluggable for easy installation and maintenance.
