The 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance optical interconnect solution designed for reliable, low-latency data transmission in modern data centers and high-speed networking environments. It provides a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to traditional copper cabling, supporting 25Gbps Ethernet applications over OM3 multimode fiber.

With integrated optical transceivers on both ends, this AOC delivers superior signal integrity, longer reach, and excellent resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI). The 3-meter length makes it ideal for short-reach interconnects between servers, switches, and storage devices in high-density rack environments. Its plug-and-play SFP28 design ensures fast deployment without configuration. OEM customization is available for length, labeling, and compatibility coding.
