Cisco SFP28-25G-AOC20M Compatible 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable, 20m (66ft)

The SFP28-25G-AOC20M cable offers a direct SFP28 to SFP28 connection at 25Gbps. Its 20m (66ft) length and AOC construction are intended for Cisco equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

OEM Part Number: SFP28-25G-AOC20MHT Part Number: SFP28-25G-AOC20M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Cisco SFP28-25G-AOC20M
• 25G connectivity at 25Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP28 to SFP28
• Fixed length and part number: 20m (66ft), SFP28-25G-AOC20M
• 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 20m (66ft) 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.

SFP28-25G-AOC20M occupies the middle of this family between SFP28-25G-AOC15M at 15m (49ft) and SFP28-25G-AOC25M at 25m (82ft). 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.

Each SFP28-25G-AOC20M compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Because operating systems can apply different qualification rules by hardware revision, the intended Cisco platform should be included with the order.

When ordering, specify SFP28-25G-AOC20M, cable length 20m (66ft) 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.

Every SFP28-25G-AOC20M compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 20m (66ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

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.
