Cisco SFP28-25G-AOC5M Compatible 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable, 5m (16ft)

For short, high-density connections, this AOC cable combines 25G performance with a fixed 5m (16ft) cable run. It corresponds to Cisco SFP28-25G-AOC5M and uses a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

OEM Part Number: SFP28-25G-AOC5MHT Part Number: SFP28-25G-AOC5M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Cisco SFP28-25G-AOC5M
• 25G connectivity at 25Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP28 to SFP28
• Fixed length and part number: 5m (16ft), SFP28-25G-AOC5M
• 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 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-AOC5M 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-AOC5M occupies the middle of this family between SFP28-25G-AOC4M at 4m (13ft) and SFP28-25G-AOC7M 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.

Each SFP28-25G-AOC5M 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.

Use part number SFP28-25G-AOC5M for the 5m (16ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

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, SFP28-25G-AOC5M and the 5m (16ft) length for easier inventory control.

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.
