High-Speed, Low-Power 25G Optical Connectivity

The Cisco SFP-25G-AOC5M is a 5-meter factory-sealed SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC engineered for 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GBASE deployments across high-density data centers and high-performance computing (HPC environments.

Operating over multimode fiber with integrated SFP28 connectors on each end, this AOC offers superior signal integrity and minimal latency—ideal for ToR (Top-of-Rack switch interconnects and server uplinks.

The active optical design eliminates the need for separate transceivers, significantly reducing power draw, cabling cost, and complexity. As part of Cisco’s trusted 25GBASE portfolio, it ensures seamless compatibility and compliance with IEEE 802.3by and 802.3cc standards.

Technical Features:

• Data Rate: 25 Gbps (25GBASE
• Cable Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC, Multimode Fiber
• Length: 5 meters (16.4 feet
• Connectors: SFP28 to SFP28
• Power Consumption: <1W typical
• Hot-Swappable: Yes – plug-and-play
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 70°C (commercial
• Compliance: IEEE 802.3by, IEEE 802.3cc
• Ideal For: ToR server connections, 25G switch uplinks, hyperscale data center deployments
