HPE 845396-B21 Active Optical Cable

Overview

The HPE 845396-B21 is a 15-meter active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed 25Gbps data transmission between network devices. It provides a direct, integrated solution for server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connectivity, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and fiber optic patch cords. This cable is engineered for environments requiring reliable, low-latency, high-bandwidth connections, such as data centers or enterprise networks where performance is critical.

Compatibility

This 25Gbps SFP28 AOC is designed to be compatible with HPE ProLiant servers and HPE FlexFabric, Aruba, and other network switches that support SFP28 interfaces. It ensures direct plug-and-play integration with compatible HPE networking hardware and other vendor equipment supporting the SFP28 standard for 25 Gigabit Ethernet.

Installation Notes

The SFP28 connectors on this active optical cable are designed for direct insertion into SFP28 ports. Ensure the port is clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable is factory terminated and tested, requiring no field configuration for optical performance. Its 15-meter length offers flexibility in rack and row placement. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F).
