Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates at 25 Gbit/s data transfer rates using 850nm wavelength over multimode fiber. The integrated SFP28 connectors provide a direct plug-and-play connection between network switches, servers, storage arrays, and other SFP28-compatible equipment.
The cable's active design incorporates electrical-to-optical conversion within the cable ends, maintaining signal integrity over the 23-foot distance without external transceivers. This implementation reduces points of failure and simplifies deployment compared to traditional fiber patch cable solutions.
Key Product Advantages
The AddOn SFP28 AOC cable offers several advantages for modern network infrastructure. The integrated active design eliminates compatibility concerns between separate transceivers and cables, while the direct SFP28-to-SFP28 connection simplifies deployment and reduces overall solution cost.
Simplified Deployment
Pre-terminated with SFP28 connectors on both ends, this cable requires no additional transceivers or field termination, reducing installation time and potential configuration errors.
- Plug-and-play connectivity
- No separate transceivers needed
- Reduced deployment complexity
Reliable Performance
The active optical design maintains signal integrity over the full 23-foot distance, supporting consistent 25 Gbit/s throughput for data center and enterprise applications.
- 25 Gbit/s data transfer rate

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this cable?
This AddOn active optical cable supports data transfer rates up to 25 Gbit/s. It uses SFP28 interfaces on both ends to deliver high-speed connectivity suitable for modern network infrastructure, data center interconnects, and enterprise applications requiring reliable 25G Ethernet performance.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
The cable features SFP28 network connectors on both ends. Each end has one SFP28 connector, providing a direct plug-and-play connection between compatible network devices. This configuration eliminates the need for separate transceivers and simplifies deployment between switches, servers, and storage equipment.
How long is this active optical cable?
The cable measures 23 feet (7 meters) in length. This distance is optimal for typical rack-to-rack or within-rack connections in data center environments, providing sufficient reach for most server-to-switch deployments while maintaining signal integrity through the active optical design.
What does TAA compliant mean for this product?
TAA compliance indicates this cable meets the Trade Agreements Act requirements for government procurement in the United States. This certification ensures the product is manufactured in a TAA-designated country (United States in this case) and qualifies for use in federal government contracts and institutional purchasing programs.
