SFP28-25G-AOC-5M16FT SFP28 Industrial Active Optical Cable, 5m (16ft)

The SFP28-25G-AOC-5M16FT cable offers a direct SFP28 connection at 25.78125Gbps. Its 5m (16ft) length and AOC construction are intended for multi-vendor equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

OEM Part Number: SFP28-25G-AOC-5M16FTHT Part Number: SFP28-25G-AOC-5M16FT

Product Highlights

• HT-manufactured AOC assembly in 5m (16ft)
• 25G connectivity at 25.78125Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP28
• Fixed length and part number: 5m (16ft), SFP28-25G-AOC-5M16FT
• Cable construction: OM3
• Maximum power consumption: < 1W
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm
• Operating temperature: -40 to 85°C (-40 to 185°F)

The rated power consumption is < 1W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include SFP28 MSA，IEEE 802.3by 25GBASE-SR. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

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.

The 5m (16ft) length gives SFP28-25G-AOC-5M16FT 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.

SFP28-25G-AOC-5M16FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP28-25G-AOC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and SFP28-25G-AOC-7M23FT at 7m (23ft). It adds 2m 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.

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.

For this Generic application, testing combines digital identification with actual traffic-link verification and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Both ends are inspected for latch, boot and connector damage. If the project uses a specific hardware revision or a channelized port, send those details so that the intended configuration can be reviewed before shipment.

This product is ordered as SFP28-25G-AOC-5M16FT in 5m (16ft). 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.

Quality control includes connector appearance, cable identification and functional verification. Packing materials are selected to keep the connector housings and cable boots from taking impact during transport, and the coil is not compressed into an undersized bundle. Volume orders can include customer-specific labels and packing documentation.

Available stock is usually packed and handed to the carrier within one to three working days. Delivery can be arranged by international express, air cargo or sea freight, with tracking details supplied after dispatch. Freight-collect shipments and delivery to a customer warehouse or forwarder can also be coordinated.
