Axiom SFP28 active optical cable

The Axiom AOC-S-S-25G-2M-AX is a 25 Gbps active optical cable built for Arista-compatible SFP28 ports. It uses fiber optic technology to connect switches, routers or servers in data-centre and enterprise networks.

Installation and typical issues

Male SFP28 connectors on both ends plug directly into matching transceiver cages without extra tools. The fiber core is sensitive to tight bends and crushing, so route the cable with generous radius curves and avoid pinching it in cable-management arms. Dust caps should stay on until the moment of insertion to keep the optical faces clean.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This cable suits network engineers deploying 25 Gbps links between Arista equipment or other SFP28 hosts that accept active optical cables. It does not suit teams needing copper direct-attach cables, longer reaches beyond the fixed length, or compatibility with SFP+ or QSFP28 form factors.

  • SFP28 connectors on both ends for direct switch-to-switch connection

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 25G SFP28 active optical cable is operating correctly after installation?

Check the link lights on both SFP28 ports for a steady green indication and confirm the switch reports a 25 Gbps active connection with no CRC errors.

What comes in the box with the AOC-S-S-25G-2M-AX and what must be purchased separately?

The package contains the 2 metre active optical cable with male SFP28 connectors on both ends; compatible SFP28 transceivers or switch ports are required separately.

Which version of the Axiom SFP28 AOC should I select for a 2 metre Arista link?

Choose the AOC-S-S-25G-2M-AX model, which is built for 25 Gbps Arista connections at a 2 metre length.
