Add-On ADD-S28CIS28DE-AOC6M 25G SFP28 AOC 6M Cable

Overview

The Add-On ADD-S28CIS28DE-AOC6M is a 6-meter, 25Gbps SFP28 active optical cable (AOC) designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects. It utilizes 850nm VCSEL technology over multimode fiber, providing a cost-effective and power-efficient solution for connecting network devices like switches, servers, and storage systems within a rack or between adjacent racks. This cable directly addresses the need for reliable, high-speed data transmission in environments demanding robust network infrastructure, such as data centers and enterprise networks.

Compatibility

This SFP28 AOC is engineered for compatibility with Cisco SFP28 ports and Dell networking equipment supporting SFP28 transceivers. It is suitable for use in systems requiring 25GbE connectivity, including Cisco Nexus switches, Catalyst switches, and Dell PowerSwitch series. Always verify specific port compatibility with your network hardware vendor if integrating into a non-Cisco or non-Dell environment.

Installation Notes

The ADD-S28CIS28DE-AOC6M requires no configuration; it is a plug-and-play solution. Ensure the SFP28 ports on both connected devices are clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable is designed for indoor use and should be protected from excessive bending or physical stress to maintain signal integrity. Operating temperature range is critical for sustained performance.
