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.

Strong cables. Good for heavy duty use. Shipping was fast.
Had to be precise. 5 meters exactly. It works. Very efficient.
5m length was perfect for our mid-row cabling. Cables are light and manageable.
Excellent value for genuine AOC. We saved significantly compared to list price.
