SFP-25G-AOC5M Description
SFP-25G-AOC5M is a Cisco 25GBASE-AOC SFP28 active optical cable that provides 5 meters of ultra-reliable, high-bandwidth 25Gbps connectivity for Cisco switches, routers, and servers supporting SFP28 ports. Recognized as “Cisco 25G AOC 5m” or “SFP28 5m Active Optical Cable,” this solution is ideal for longer short-range runs in dense data center, cloud, HPC, and enterprise environments, where cable flexibility, EMI immunity, and ease of management are essential. Fully hot-swappable and plug-and-play, SFP-25G-AOC5M guarantees certified Cisco performance and seamless interoperability in demanding professional networking scenarios, especially where copper solutions may be limited by length or interference.
Applications Scenarios
Enables flexible, EMI-immune connectivity for video, editing, and live production gear across large production floors.
Supports aggregation or core interconnects in modern campus networks or edge sites where cable reach and EMI protection are critical.
Connects critical imaging, analysis, or storage devices in hospitals, labs, and academic institutions with maximum signal integrity.
Platform Support
The Cisco SFP-25G-AOC5M 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:

Installation & Usage Tips
- Hot-swappable Design: The SFP-25G-AOC5M 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.
