Lenovo 10M 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable

This Lenovo active optical cable uses SFP28 connectors to deliver 25G connectivity over a 32.81 ft run. It suits data-centre links between switches, servers or storage arrays where copper reach is insufficient. The active design maintains signal integrity across the full length without external power adapters.

Suits 25G SFP28 links needing extended reach

Builders running 10G or slower speeds do not need this cable class. Installations requiring passive copper twinax or multimode fibre with LC connectors should select a different media type. Environments without SFP28 ports cannot use this assembly.

32.81 ft active optical reach at 25G

The 32.81 ft length defines the maximum point-to-point distance this single cable covers at 25G. Longer runs demand intermediate switches or alternative fibre solutions. Shorter rack-to-rack links may use lower-cost passive copper instead.

Questions about this item

Will the 25G SFP28 active optical cable work with my existing 10G SFP+ switch ports?

The cable uses SFP28 connectors rated for 25G; compatibility with 10G SFP+ ports depends on the switch vendor’s port-speed negotiation and is not guaranteed by the cable itself.

How can I verify the 32.81 ft active optical link is operating at 25G after installation?

Check the switch or NIC port statistics for a negotiated speed of 25 Gb/s and confirm zero CRC errors on the interface counters.

Does the box contain two SFP28 modules already attached to the cable, or must I purchase transceivers separately?

Active optical cables have the optical engines permanently integrated into both SFP28 ends, so no separate transceivers are required.
