Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable integrates SFP28 transceivers at both ends, eliminating the need for separate optical modules and simplifying installation. The 25 Gbit/s data transfer rate supports high-bandwidth applications such as server connectivity, storage area networks, and switch interconnects, while the multimode fiber with 850nm wavelength ensures efficient signal transmission over the specified distance.
The cable is fully compatible with network devices that support SFP28 interfaces, providing plug-and-play functionality without additional configuration. AOC technology combines the benefits of optical fiber with integrated electronics, offering lower power consumption and reduced latency compared to traditional copper solutions for similar performance levels.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Fiber Optic Mode, Cable Length, Country of Origin, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the cable length and how is it measured?
The cable is 13.1 feet long, which equals 4 meters. This length is measured end-to-end including the integrated SFP28 connectors, providing sufficient reach for typical rack-to-rack or within-rack deployments in data center environments.
What types of devices are compatible with this cable?
This cable is compatible with network devices that support SFP28 interfaces, including switches, routers, servers, and storage arrays from various manufacturers. The integrated SFP28 connectors provide plug-and-play functionality without requiring separate transceivers.
What does TAA compliant mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates this cable meets U.S. government procurement requirements for products manufactured in or substantially transformed in designated countries. Since it's manufactured in the United States, it qualifies for use in federal contracts and other regulated purchasing environments.
How does AOC technology differ from traditional fiber cables?
AOC (Active Optical Cable) technology integrates optical transceivers directly into the cable ends, combining fiber optic transmission with active electronics. This provides better signal integrity over distance compared to passive cables, lower power consumption than separate transceiver solutions, and simplified installation with fewer components to manage.
What is the warranty coverage for this cable?
The cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty from AddOn. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life, providing long-term assurance for critical network infrastructure investments.
What applications is this 25GBase-AOC cable best suited for?
This cable is ideal for 25GbE network connections in data centers, including server-to-switch links, storage area network connectivity, and switch interconnects. It's particularly useful for high-performance computing, financial trading systems, and virtualized environments where low latency and high bandwidth are essential.
