Description
The Cisco SFP-25G-AOC5M is a high-performance 25GBASE-AOC active optical cable designed to provide reliable, low-latency connectivity across data center racks. This 5-meter integrated assembly features SFP28 connectors on both ends, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and ensuring seamless compatibility with Cisco’s extensive portfolio of switches and network interface cards. Its lightweight, thin-diameter design facilitates better airflow within high-density server environments while maintaining signal integrity over the entire length of the cable. By utilizing active optical technology, this unit consumes significantly less power than traditional copper twinax cables, making it an energy-efficient choice for modern high-speed networking.
When purchasing this used hardware, you benefit from a field-proven solution that delivers robust 25Gbps throughput for demanding virtualization and storage applications. The cable is constructed with premium fiber optics, ensuring it remains durable and resistant to electromagnetic interference even after years of operation. Each unit is rigorously tested to ensure that the optical transceivers provide consistent data transmission without packet loss or link instability. This pre-owned Cisco component offers a cost-effective way to scale your network infrastructure without sacrificing the reliability and performance standards expected from enterprise-grade equipment.
