SFP-25G-AOC2M Description

SFP-25G-AOC2M is a Cisco 25GBASE-AOC SFP28 active optical cable, enabling 2-meter, high-speed 25Gbps connections for Cisco switches, routers, and servers equipped with SFP28 ports. This “Cisco 25G AOC 2m” solution combines the EMI immunity of fiber with the convenience of integrated SFP28 connectors, providing a plug-and-play, energy-efficient, and cost-effective alternative to transceiver-patch cord combinations. With superior signal integrity, hot-swappable design, and robust compliance with Cisco’s rigorous standards, SFP-25G-AOC2M is perfect for dense data centers, broadcast studios, cloud infrastructure, and other environments demanding short-range, high-performance optical connectivity.

Applications Scenarios

Top-of-Rack to Server Interconnect

Provides high-bandwidth, low-latency connections between ToR switches and servers in the same or adjacent racks, supporting agile and scalable data center architectures.

Real-Time Audio/Video Transfer

Facilitates fast, interference-free media transport for video editing, live production, or research laboratories requiring reliable and flexible short optical links.

EMI-Intensive Environments

Designed for areas with high electromagnetic interference, such as broadcast control rooms, industrial floors, or medical equipment clusters, where copper cables may be unsuitable.

Platform Support

The Cisco SFP-25G-AOC2M DAC cable is fully compatible with a wide range of Cisco switches and servers featuring SFP28 ports. Typical supported platforms include, but are not limited to:

  • Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches (e.g., 93180YC-FX, 9364C, 9500 modular)
  • Cisco Catalyst 9500, 9300, 9400, 9200 Series switches
  • Cisco UCS C-Series and B-Series servers
  • Cisco MDS 9000 Series
  • Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers

Installation & Usage Tips

  • Hot-swappable Design: The SFP-25G-AOC2M is fully hot-swappable—insert or remove the cable without powering down your equipment.
  • Plug and Play: No additional configuration or software required. Simply insert into compatible SFP28 ports.
  • Proper Handling: Always hold the cable by the connectors and avoid excessive bending. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 30mm to ensure signal integrity.
  • Port Cleaning: Ensure the SFP28 cages are free of dust and debris before installation.
  • Lock Mechanism: Use the integrated pull-tab for secure installation and easy removal; do not force or twist the cable.
  • Stacking Cables: Avoid tightly bundling or sharply bending cables to prevent signal loss or physical damage.
  • Operating Conditions: Confirm that the cable is used within specified operating temperature (0 to 70°C) and humidity levels.
  • Compatibility: For optimal performance, use Cisco certified cables with Cisco switches and servers, and refer to the latest compatibility matrix for your platform.
