Description

The SFP-25G-AOC5M is a 25 Gigabit Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for high-speed data transmission in networking applications. It’s a 5-meter long optical cable with SFP28 connectors on both ends, providing a 25G Ethernet connection over a short distance.

Key Features:

• Data Rate: 25 Gbps (25 Gigabit Ethernet)

• Cable Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC), which uses optical fibers combined with electrical components for signal processing.

• Length: 5 meters (16.4 feet)

• Connector Type: SFP28 to SFP28 (for compatibility with SFP28 ports)

• Application: Ideal for short-range, high-speed interconnections in data centers, network racks, and high-performance networks.

• Wavelength: Typically operates over 850nm multimode optical fiber.

Applications:

• Data Center Interconnects: Connects 25G Ethernet switches, servers, and other networking devices with a fast and reliable optical link.

• Server-to-Switch/Inter-Rack Connections: For environments where fiber optics are preferred over copper cables to reduce EMI and improve distance performance.

• High-Performance Computing (HPC): Enables low-latency, high-bandwidth connections for compute-intensive applications.

Benefits:

• High Speed: Supports 25G Ethernet, providing fast and efficient data transmission in demanding environments.

• Active Optical Design: Unlike passive optical cables, the AOC actively converts and amplifies signals, allowing for reliable performance over longer distances than traditional copper cables.

• Low Latency: Ideal for low-latency, high-throughput applications like real-time data processing.

• Lightweight and Flexible: The AOC is generally lighter and more flexible than copper cables, which makes it easier to deploy and manage in data centers or server rooms.
