SFP 25g AOC 3m

The 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance, plug gable interconnect solution designed for 25 Gigabit Ethernet applications in data centers, cloud computing, and enterprise networks. Featuring SFP28 connectors on both ends with integrated optical transceivers, these cables provide reliable, low-power connectivity with thinner, more flexible cable construction compared to copper DAC alternatives. The 3-meter length is ideal for top-of-rack switching, server connections within the same rack, and adjacent rack connectivity where copper cables may be too stiff or signal integrity becomes a concern. The active optical design converts electrical signals to optical and back, enabling superior bend radius and easier cable management in high-density deployments.

Product Selling Points

 

1. SFP28 25GbE Performance for High-Speed Data Centers
Supports 25.78 GBPS data rate (25GbE) - meeting SFP28 standards for high-bandwidth data center and enterprise network applications. Active Optical Cable (AOC) technology delivers superior performance over copper at extended distances.

2. Active Optical Cable for Longer Reach with Lower Weight
AOC construction enables cable lengths of 3 meters or more (custom available) - far exceeding copper cable distance limitations while offering lighter weight, smaller bend radius (20mm minimum), and better EMI immunity than copper alternatives.

3. 850nm VCSEL Technology with OM3/OM4 Fiber
Features 850nm VCSEL optical wavelength with OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber - providing reliable, high-speed optical transmission for rack-to-rack and switch-to-switch connections. Typical cable diameter of 2.5mm to 3.0mm (custom available) for easy cable management.

4. Programmable EEPROM with Durable Zinc Alloy Housing
Zinc alloy connector housing with nickel plating provides excellent durability and EMI shielding. EEPROM is programmable with vendor and serial number for system identification and inventory tracking. Available with standard or extended pull tab, and ROHS compliant.

Applications

 

High-Bandwidth Optical Connectivity for Server and Switch Links

  • Top-of-Rack (TOR) Switching: Connecting 25G servers to top-of-rack switches within the same rack, providing flexible cable routing with superior bend radius compared to copper DACS.
  • Adjacent Rack Connectivity: Used for connecting equipment between adjacent racks where the 3m length provides enough reach while maintaining clean cable management.
  • High-Performance Computing (HPC): Deployed in compute clusters requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth connections between nodes where flexible cabling is essential for dense rack layouts.
  • Storage Area Networks (SAN): Used in 32G Fibre Channel storage environments for connecting servers to storage arrays within the same rack or adjacent racks.
  • Test & Measurement: Deployed in network testers, protocol analyzers, and lab environments for validating 25G network performance with easy cable routing.
  • Enterprise Data Centers: Used in private data centers for 25G server connections where cable flexibility simplifies installation and maintenance.
  • Cloud & Hyperscale Data Centers: Implemented in large-scale deployments where 3m AOCS provide the right balance of reach and cable management for standard rack layouts.
  • Video Broadcast & Media: Used in broadcast facilities for 25G video transport where flexible cables are needed for clean routing in production racks.

 

 

Star Reviews From Customers

 

1.Mike, data center tech in Virginia
"3m AOCS are perfect for our top-of-rack setup. Much easier to route than copper DACS-the thin cable bends around corners without kinking. The aqua color makes them easy to spot in the racks. Been using these for a year, no failures."


2.Dave, HPC admin in California
"Compute cluster needed 25G connections between nodes in adjacent racks. These 3m AOCS were just right. The thin cable lets us bundle them neatly. No signal issues even with tight bends. Would recommend."


3.Carlos, storage admin in Texas
"32G Fibre Channel environment needed flexible cabling. These 3m AOCS work great with our storage switches. Much easier to manage than bulky copper. Zero errors in six months of operation."


4.Alex, IT manager in Oregon
"Server refresh used these 3m AOCS for 25G connections. Much cleaner install than the old copper cables. The LSZH jacket version passed our fire safety requirements. Good quality, would buy again."


5.Raj, network consultant in India
"Data center migration used these 3m AOCS with Dell switches. Plug and play, no configuration issues. The cables are flexible enough for our cable management system. Good value."
