Axiom SFP28 active optical cable 5m

The Axiom 7Z57A03542-AX is an active optical cable with SFP28 male connectors on both ends. It is built for Lenovo environments that require a 5 metre link between compatible ports. The cable uses optical fibre inside the assembly to carry the signal between the two connectors.

Suited for direct SFP28-to-SFP28 links in Lenovo

This cable suits administrators who need a 5 metre active optical connection between two SFP28 ports on supported Lenovo equipment. It is not for buyers who need a different reach, a copper direct-attach cable, or a connector type other than SFP28.

5 metre active optical SFP28 assembly

The defining specification is the 5 metre active optical construction with SFP28 male connectors on each end. That length and connector combination determines whether the cable matches the port layout and distance requirement in the target Lenovo system.

Questions about this item

What switch or NIC ports do I need to plug this Axiom SFP28 active optical cable into?

You need two SFP28 ports, one at each end, because both connectors are male SFP28.

Will this 5 m AOC work if I keep my older SFP+ transceivers on the other side of the link?

No, the cable terminates in SFP28 connectors on both sides, so the mating ports must also be SFP28.

After cabling, how can I confirm the Axiom 7Z57A03542-AX is passing traffic correctly?

Check that the link LEDs on both SFP28 ports light solid and the interface counters show zero CRC errors.
