25G AOC Active Optical Cable Overview

C-LIGHT 25G AOC active optical cables are developed for compact 25Gbps optical connections in data centers, 5G networks, 25G Ethernet environments, and Fibre Channel systems. By integrating the optical interfaces and multimode fiber into one cable assembly, the product provides a simple and efficient method for connecting compatible high-speed network equipment.

The 25G AOC uses an SFP28-to-SFP28 configuration with 850nm optical transmission over OM3 multimode fiber. The current product specification supports cable lengths from 0.5m to 30m, making it suitable for short-distance equipment connections inside racks and between nearby racks.

Designed around IEEE 802.3by and SFP28-related industry specifications, the 25G AOC provides a standardized optical interconnect for network environments that require more bandwidth than 10G while maintaining a compact SFP28 interface.

25G AOC Active Optical Cable Key Features

25Gbps Optical Interconnect

The cable provides 25Gbps connectivity for high-speed Ethernet and compatible network applications.

SFP28 to SFP28 Configuration

The current C-LIGHT product uses SFP28 interfaces at both ends for direct 25G equipment-to-equipment connections.

850nm Optical Technology

The AOC uses 850nm optical transmission technology for short-reach multimode fiber networking.

OM3 Multimode Fiber

OM3 multimode fiber provides the optical medium for the listed 25G AOC configuration and is well suited to short data center links.

0.5m to 30m Length Range

The available cable lengths cover short connections between servers, switches, and other network equipment.

SFP28 MSA Packaging

The product follows the SFP28 MSA packaging architecture for compatibility with supported SFP28 equipment.

IEEE 802.3by Compliance

The communication protocol follows IEEE 802.3by specifications for 25G Ethernet applications.

Commercial Temperature Design

The current product specification provides a commercial-temperature option for standard indoor networking environments.

25G AOC Active Optical Cable Applications

Data Center Server Access

25G AOCs can connect high-speed server interfaces with compatible switches, providing an efficient optical link for modern server access networks.

25G Ethernet Networks

The cable is designed for 25GbE environments where higher server and network bandwidth is required without moving directly to 40G or 100G interfaces.

5G Network Infrastructure

25G optical interconnects can be deployed in suitable 5G networking environments that require compact short-distance high-speed connections.

Fibre Channel Networks

The 25G AOC can be considered for compatible Fibre Channel environments requiring short optical connections between supported network devices.

Server-to-Switch Links

The SFP28-to-SFP28 architecture provides a direct connection between compatible 25G server and switch interfaces.

Rack-Level Interconnection

The 0.5m to 30m cable range makes the product suitable for connections within a rack and between nearby equipment positions.

Network Infrastructure Expansion

25G AOC provides an optical connectivity option for organizations expanding server and switching capacity around existing 10G-based infrastructure.

High-Density Cabling

The integrated optical cable assembly helps simplify cabling where large numbers of short-reach connections must be deployed in limited rack space.

Why Choose C-LIGHT 25G AOC Active Optical Cable?

Purpose-Built for 25G Networks

The product focuses specifically on 25Gbps connectivity, making it suitable for server and network deployments positioned between 10G and higher-speed architectures.

Direct SFP28 Connectivity

The SFP28-to-SFP28 configuration provides a straightforward connection method for equipment equipped with compatible 25G SFP28 ports.

Data Center-Friendly Cable Range
