Add-On ADD-S28CIS28MU-O5M 25G AOC SFP28 Cable

Overview

The Add-On ADD-S28CIS28MU-O5M is a 25Gbps Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP28 connectors. This cable is designed for high-speed data center and enterprise network interconnects, providing a reliable and efficient solution for connecting switches, servers, and storage devices over short to medium distances. Its integrated SFP28 transceivers eliminate the need for separate fiber modules, simplifying deployment and reducing potential points of failure. This cable directly addresses the need for high-bandwidth, low-latency connections in modern network architectures.

Compatibility

This 25GBASE-AOC cable is engineered to be compatible with Cisco SFP28 ports and other industry-standard equipment that supports the SFP28 form factor. It is suitable for use with Cisco Nexus switches, Catalyst switches, and other network devices requiring 25Gbps connectivity via SFP28 interfaces. Ensure your network equipment's SFP28 ports are configured to recognize third-party transceivers if necessary, though this AOC is designed for broad compatibility.

Installation Notes

The SFP28 connectors on this AOC are hot-swappable, allowing for installation or removal without powering down network equipment. Ensure the cable is securely seated in both the host device ports to establish a stable connection. Avoid excessive bending or pulling on the cable to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage. The AOC is typically plug-and-play, requiring no additional configuration beyond port enablement on the connected devices.
