Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell CBL-25GSFP28-AOC-25M
• 25G connectivity at 25Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP28 to SFP28
• Fixed length and part number: 25m (82ft), CBL-25GSFP28-AOC-25M
• 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 extended 25m (82ft) reach supports connections across adjacent racks or between separated equipment rows. Secure the cable along its route, protect both ends from pull loads and preserve ventilation. The integrated AOC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

CBL-25GSFP28-AOC-25M occupies the middle of this family between CBL-25GSFP28-AOC-20M at 20m (66ft) and CBL-25GSFP28-AOC-30M at 30m (98ft). It adds 5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. 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.

Compatibility is more than matching the SFP28 to SFP28 shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting CBL-25GSFP28-AOC-25M and is checked for identification, stable link behavior and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. We recommend confirming the equipment model and software release for critical deployments or mixed-vendor installations.

This product is ordered as CBL-25GSFP28-AOC-25M in 25m (82ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, CBL-25GSFP28-AOC-25M and the 25m (82ft) length for easier inventory control.
