UNC GROUP LLC

AOC-S-S-25G-3M-U 25 GbE Active Optical Cable - Arista-Compatible SFP28 to SFP28, 3 Meter

The UNC GROUP LLC AOC-S-S-25G-3M-U is a high-performance 25 Gigabit Ethernet Active Optical Cable (AOC) engineered for seamless compatibility with Arista networks and other SFP28-based 25 GbE environments. At a convenient 3 meter length (approx. 10 ft), this plug-and-play fiber link delivers full-duplex 25 Gbps throughput over multimode OM3 fiber. Pre-programmed for Arista compatibility and compliant with SFP28 MSA specifications, it offers low power consumption (<1 W) and minimal signal latency×ideal for top-of-rack or rack-to-rack connections in data centers, high-performance computing clusters, and enterprise storage networks

Features

Built to meet demanding 25 GbE applications, the UNC GROUP LLC AOC-S-S-25G-3M-U integrates factory-flashed Arista-compatible firmware within SFP28 connectors, ensuring plug-and-play interoperability with Arista switches and routers. The AOC design eliminates the need for separate optical modules and patch fiber, simplifying deployments while reducing cost and potential points of failure

Advanced Options

Using OM3 multimode fiber with dual-laser VCSEL transmitters (850 nm), the cable supports data rates up to 25.78 Gbps (and backward-compatible with 10 Gbps at 10.31 Gbps) with high signal integrity and negligible BER. Its LSZH-rated jacket enhances safety in dense rack installations and supports tight cable routing with a minimum bend radius of ~25 mm. Designed for standard operating conditions, it performs reliably from 0 °C to 70 °C and supports storage up to -40 °C to 85 °C .

Reliability & Performance

The UNC GROUP LLC AOC-S-S-25G-3M-U is engineered for mission-critical 25 GbE infrastructures requiring consistent high-speed performance and minimal downtime. Factory-programmed for Arista interoperability and compliant with SFF-8432 and SFP28 MSA standards, it ensures stable link establishment and error-free data transmission in dense network environments With a robust LSZH jacket and carefully controlled internal optics, the cable maintains signal strength across rack spans without electromagnetic interference typical of copper alternatives. Its low typical power draw (<1 W) reduces thermal load on switches, and hot-pluggable SFP28 connectors allow easy maintenance or replacement without disrupting network operation. Whether used for storage clusters, spine-leaf interconnects, or high-density switch uplinks, this AOC delivers reliable, efficient 25 GbE connectivity backed by multi-year warranty
