SFP‑25G‑AOC3M‑U 25 GbE Active Optical Cable – Cisco‑Compatible SFP28 to SFP28, 3 Meter (≈10 ft)

The UNC GROUP LLC SFP‑25G‑AOC3M‑U is a high-performance 25 Gigabit Ethernet Active Optical Cable (AOC), meticulously engineered to deliver seamless plug‑and‑play compatibility with Cisco SFP28 infrastructure. With a precision length of 3 meters (~10 ft), this cable is optimally suited for rack-to-rack or top-of-rack interconnects in data center, enterprise networking, and high-performance computing environments. Leveraging OM3 multimode fiber and integrated active transceivers, it provides carriage of full-duplex 25 Gbps throughput with ultra-low latency and low power consumption—without requiring separate optics or patch fiber.

Features

Purpose-built for short-distance yet high-bandwidth deployments, the SFP‑25G‑AOC3M‑U is a factory-programmed cable that simplifies installation in Cisco environments. Automatically recognized by Cisco SFP28 ports, it ensures reliable interoperability without additional configuration. Made to IEEE 802.3by standards and compliant with SFP28 MSA protocols, it delivers deterministic performance with minimal jitter and error rates.

Advanced Options

This cable consumes less than 1 W of power, reducing thermal stress on host devices while enabling dense port configurations. Its bright orange pull-tab and durable outer jacket allow clear identification and simplified airflow management. Built with LSZH multimode fiber, it supports tight bend tolerances (~25 mm radius), making installation neat and compliant in fire-safe environments. Compatible also with OEM-branded alternatives including Dell, Mellanox, HP, and Brocade, the UNC GROUP LLC variant retains Cisco-specific serialization and firmware emulation for seamless deployment
