25G SFP28 active optical cable with 3m length for high-speed data center connectivity.
When bulky copper DAC cables restrict airflow in high-density server racks, deploying flexible cabling becomes critical for thermal management. The SFP28-AOC-3m active optical cable solves this by offering a lighter, smaller-diameter alternative for 25G Ethernet links.
Supporting data rates up to 25.78125 Gbps per lane, this AOC ensures consistent throughput for bandwidth-intensive workloads. With an 850nm VCSEL transmitter and PIN receiver, it delivers reliable signal integrity while consuming low power at +3.3V single supply.
Ideal for connecting servers, switches, and storage adapters, the SFP28-AOC-3m supports InfiniBand QDR/SDR/DDR protocols. This 3-meter cable provides a cost-effective, hot-pluggable solution for modern data center interconnects requiring high performance.
Supports data transfer rates up to 25 Gb/s for demanding data center applications.
Smaller diameter and lighter weight than traditional DAC for improved rack airflow.
Achieves transmission distances up to 70m using OM3 multimode fiber.
Standard SFP28 footprint allows easy installation without powering down equipment.
Operates on a single +3.3V power supply with maximum current of 300mA.
