Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates at 850nm wavelength over multimode fiber (MMF), making it suitable for short to medium distance connections within data centers, server rooms, and network racks. The SFP28 connectors on both ends provide a hot-pluggable interface that supports 25 Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand, and other high-speed protocols.
The cable's active design includes built-in electronics that amplify and condition the optical signal, ensuring consistent performance across the entire 19.7 ft length. This eliminates the signal degradation that can occur with passive copper cables at similar lengths and data rates.
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.
Key Product Advantages
The AddOn 25GBase-AOC cable offers several advantages over traditional connectivity solutions. The integrated AOC technology provides superior signal integrity compared to passive DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cables, especially at the 6-meter length. This makes it ideal for applications where minimal latency and maximum reliability are critical.
Simplified Deployment
With transceivers built into the cable ends, installation requires no separate optical modules, reducing component count and potential points of failure.
- No separate transceivers needed
- Hot-pluggable SFP28 connectors
- Direct device-to-device connection
Compliance & Reliability
The cable is TAA compliant for government and enterprise procurement and comes with a lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and compliance with trade agreements.
- TAA compliant
- Lifetime limited warranty
- Made in USA
Deployment / Use Cases
This 25GBase-AOC cable is designed for high-performance networking environments where 25 Gigabit connectivity is required. The 19.7 ft length provides flexibility for connecting equipment within standard server racks or between adjacent racks in data center configurations.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting top-of-rack switches to servers, linking storage arrays to network switches, or establishing connections between network appliances in enterprise environments. The Cisco compatibility ensures seamless integration with existing Cisco networking infrastructure while the TAA compliance makes it suitable for government and educational institutions with specific procurement requirements.
