Axiom 470-ACIK-AX
The Axiom470‑ACIK‑AX Active Optical Cable is a 10‑meter, Dell-compatible 25 Gigabit Ethernet SFP28 AOC that merges the transceiver and optical fiber into a single streamlined unit. Designed for demanding data center environments, it delivers ultra‑low-latency, high-bandwidth links ideal for connecting servers, switches, and storage across rack or row distances. Each cable comes pre‑programmed, serialized, and coded for Dell platforms, guaranteeing plug‑and‑play interoperability without configuration headaches. Lightweight and highly flexible, it enhances airflow and simplifies cable management in dense deployments. With full MSA compliance, active optical technology (AOT), and backed by a lifetime warranty, this Axiomcable offers both exceptional performance and deployment efficiency..
Features
The Axiom470‑ACIK‑AX conforms fully to the SFP28 Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and IEEE 802.3by (25GBASE‑CR), delivering reliable 25 Gbps performance across 10 meters of multimode fiber Each cable features factory serialization and OEM-specific programming to ensure seamless integration with Dell systems—eliminating compatibility issues or link negotiation failures often seen with generic optics As an Active Optical Cable (not passive), it uses transceiver components embedded within the fiber for superior reach, resilience, and signal integrity, addressing limitations of passive copper DACs beyond a few meters.Its sleek, lightweight construction maintains rack organization and improves cooling efficiency, while the durable cable jacket withstands rigors in dynamic deployments.
Advanced Options
Operating with a low power draw (~1 W per end), it imposes minimal thermal burden on infrastructure. Though not explicitly specified, most similar AOCs include Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM), enabling real-time I²C-based feedback on optical power, temperature, and voltage. Rated for standard operating temperatures, this cable is engineered for robust long-term performance across enterprise and data center applications.
