Description

Lenovo 7Z57A03541 3m 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable

Overview

The Lenovo 7Z57A03541 is a 3-meter active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GbE) network connectivity. This cable utilizes integrated optical transceivers at both ends, offering a reliable and efficient solution for connecting network switches, servers, or storage devices that require 25Gbps throughput over moderate distances. Its blue jacket helps with identification in dense network racks.

Compatibility

This AOC cable is equipped with SFP28 network connectors on both ends, ensuring compatibility with any network equipment featuring standard SFP28 ports. This includes a wide range of enterprise-grade switches, network interface cards (NICs), and storage controllers that support 25Gbps data rates. Verify your equipment's SFP28 port specification for seamless integration.

Installation Notes

Active optical cables are pre-terminated and require no field configuration beyond insertion into the SFP28 ports. Ensure ports are clean before insertion. The 3-meter length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could exceed the minimum bend radius, which can degrade signal integrity.
