Ortronics LN-SFP25G-AOC-10M SFP28 Active Optical Cable

Product Description

The ORTRONICS LN-SFP25G-AOC-10M is an active optical cable (AOC) built around the SFP28 form factor, designed to carry 25 Gigabit Ethernet signals over a fixed 10-meter fiber assembly. Active optical cables integrate the transceiver and cable into a single plug-and-play unit, eliminating the need for separate optics and patch cords. The cable converts electrical signals to optical at one end and back to electrical at the other, enabling high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity inside data centers and telecom equipment rooms. Network technicians and structured-cabling installers are the primary trades that deploy this type of component.

This AOC is suited for short-reach, high-density interconnects between top-of-rack switches, servers, and storage systems operating at 25G. The MSA-compatible design allows it to function in equipment that accepts standard SFP28 interfaces. The fixed 10-meter length targets intra-rack and inter-rack runs within the same data hall. It is used in environments where low power consumption and reduced cable bulk are priorities compared to traditional copper DAC assemblies.

Key Features

• SFP28 form factor for 25G Ethernet applications
• Active optical design combines transceiver and cable in one assembly
• Fixed 10-meter cable length for intra- or inter-rack runs
• MSA-compatible interface for broad equipment interoperability
• Low-latency optical signal path versus copper alternatives

Compatibility

Designed as an MSA-compatible SFP28 active optical cable suitable for use in network switches, servers, and storage platforms with standard 25G SFP28 ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by network technicians or structured-cabling professionals. Power down or administratively disable the port before inserting or removing the module to prevent interface errors. Handle the optical connectors carefully and keep dust caps in place until the moment of insertion. Follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable data center cabling standards when routing the cable assembly.
