Arista Networks AOC-S-S-25G-5M Compatible 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable, 5m (16ft)

Use the AOC-S-S-25G-5M compatible assembly where a 25G connection is required between compatible ports. This page covers the 5m (16ft) version only, with its own HT part number, specifications and compatibility verification.

OEM Part Number: AOC-S-S-25G-5MHT Part Number: AOC-S-S-25G-5M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Arista Networks AOC-S-S-25G-5M
• 25G connectivity at 25Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP28 to SFP28
• Fixed length and part number: 5m (16ft), AOC-S-S-25G-5M
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm

This assembly uses OFNP jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

The 5m (16ft) length gives AOC-S-S-25G-5M more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. The integrated optical assembly should be supported along its route without tight bends or connector pull loads; the AOC specification and host support must still match the intended link.

AOC-S-S-25G-5M occupies the middle of this family between AOC-S-S-25G-4M at 4m (13ft) and AOC-S-S-25G-7M at 7m (23ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 2m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

The optical engines and fiber are permanently integrated into this AOC. There are no detachable optical modules to clean or exchange. Handle the complete assembly by its connector housings and cable, and keep both ends matched to the same interface specification.

Our compatibility setup for Arista Networks AOC-S-S-25G-5M is checked together with the physical 5m (16ft) assembly. Factory verification covers connector condition, host identification, error-free link establishment and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Providing the exact host model and firmware release helps us identify platform-specific requirements before production.

When ordering, specify AOC-S-S-25G-5M, cable length 5m (16ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
