SFP-25G-AOC1M Description
SFP-25G-AOC1M is a Cisco 25GBASE-AOC SFP28 active optical cable assembly for short 25 Gigabit Ethernet links between supported SFP28 host ports. It provides a 1 m active optical cable with SFP28 connectors at both ends, a beige pull tab, 1W maximum power consumption, and commercial 0 to 70 degrees C operating temperature. Cisco documentation identifies the SKU for 25G host-port connections that use BASE-R FEC or RS-FEC, with platform support checked through the Cisco Transceiver Module Group Compatibility Matrix and relevant host documentation.

Application Scenarios
A 1-meter SFP-25G-AOC1M link fits short Cisco SFP28 port paths where the bill of materials calls for active optical media and the dressed route should not carry unused cable length.
Cisco lists SFP-25G-AOC1M in the Catalyst CW9800M supported 25GBASE SFP model table. That platform record gives buyers an official host-support example before the cable is staged for controller uplinks.
Cisco lists SFP-25G-AOC1M in the UCS 2408 Fabric Extender cable-support matrix. The same Cisco note tells buyers to cross-reference the device on the opposite side of the link before finalizing both ends of the connection.

- In a SFP-25G-AOC1M vs SFP-25G-AOC2M comparison, the confirmed difference is fixed cable length: SFP-25G-AOC1M is the beige-tab 1-meter AOC and SFP-25G-AOC2M is the brown-tab 2-meter AOC.
- The SFP-25G-AOC1M difference from SFP-H25G-CU1M is media type at the same 1-meter length, because the current SKU is active optical cable and SFP-H25G-CU1M is passive copper.
- For which model to choose, validate Cisco host support first, then match the cable family, FEC requirement, and fixed length shown in the comparison.
Selection Guide
1. Select it for the shortest Cisco 25G AOC run
Order SFP-25G-AOC1M when the required Cisco cable family is 25GBASE-AOC and the measured path fits a 1-meter finished assembly.
2. Move to the 2-meter AOC for service slack
Use SFP-25G-AOC2M only when the same SFP28 active optical cable family is needed but the 1-meter route cannot reach after cable managers and service slack are included.
3. Separate same-length copper from AOC orders
SFP-H25G-CU1M matches the 1-meter length and beige pull tab but changes the order to a passive copper 25GBASE-CR1 cable, so it should not replace the AOC line without design review.
4. Validate host support and FEC behavior
Confirm the target Cisco platform, port type, software context, and BASE-R FEC or RS-FEC support before releasing the SFP-25G-AOC1M quote.
Ordering Checklist
|
Review Area |
Confirmation |
Procurement Risk |
|---|---|---|
|
Media callout |
The design calls for a 25GBASE-AOC SFP28 active optical cable assembly |
Keeps the order from drifting to a 25GBASE-CR1 passive DAC under the same 25G speed class |
|
One-meter route |
Cable-manager path and service access have been checked against a fixed 1-meter assembly |
The finished AOC cannot be shortened or extended during installation |
|
Cisco host record |
TMG or official platform documentation covers the intended switch, controller, fabric extender, port, and software context |
Confirms that the target SFP28 host is inside Cisco’s support boundary |
|
Host FEC capability |
BASE-R FEC or RS-FEC can be enabled where the port implementation requires it |
Aligns the link setup with Cisco’s SFP-25G AOC FEC requirement |
|
Power and site limits |
Port planning allows 1W maximum consumption and commercial 0 to 70 degrees C operation |
Avoids staging the cable outside Cisco’s published power or temperature range |
|
Receiving cue |
Beige pull tab is used only after the PID is scanned |
Color helps inspection but should never replace exact part-number verification |
