Axiom

Axiom AOC-S-S-25G-4M-AX SFP28 active optical network ethernet cable

SKU CH-F5XC-ADR4F MPN AOC-S-S-25G-4M-AX

Active optical SFP28 cable delivers 25 Gbps connectivity over four metres

  • Active optical cable delivers 25 Gbps throughput over fiber
  • SFP28 male connectors on both ends plug directly into compatible ports
  • Fiber-optic construction eliminates electromagnetic interference in dense racks
  • Four-metre reach links top-of-rack switches without signal repeaters
  • Designed for Arista gear to ensure validated interoperability

What this cable is

The Axiom AOC-S-S-25G-4M-AX is a 25 Gbps SFP28 active optical cable built with fiber optic technology. Both ends carry male SFP28 connectors for direct switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links. It is sold new and coded for Arista equipment compatibility.

Who it suits and who it does not

Network engineers deploying 25 GbE links inside Arista environments will find the correct vendor coding and connector gender here. Buyers who need a different vendor coding scheme, a copper direct-attach alternative, or a passive fiber assembly should select another product.

The specification that decides fit

The cable uses an SFP28 interface on both sides, so the host ports must accept SFP28 modules running at 25 Gbps. If the target hardware only supports SFP+ at lower speeds or requires a different form factor, this cable will not work.

Questions about this item

Will the SFP28 male connectors fit the 25 GbE ports on my Arista switch?

The cable uses SFP28 male connectors on both ends, matching the SFP28 ports on compatible Arista 25 GbE equipment.

How do I install the active optical cable without damaging the fiber cores?

Remove the dust caps, align the keyed SFP28 module with the port, and push straight in until the latch clicks; never force the connector at an angle.

When should I plan to replace this active optical cable in a 25 GbE link?

Replace the cable if link errors rise, the latch no longer secures the module, or the fiber end-faces show contamination that cleaning cannot clear.
