Cavo ottico attivo SFP28 Cisco 25GBASE, 2m

High-density 25 Gigabit Ethernet links often suffer from signal degradation and bulky cabling over short distances. This Cisco 25GBASE Active Optical SFP28 Cable solves that problem by delivering a reliable, low-latency 25 Gbps connection in a lightweight, flexible 2-meter form factor. It is ideal for top-of-rack switches, servers, and storage systems where space and power efficiency are critical.

Who is it for

Data center administrators, network engineers, and IT professionals who need to interconnect SFP28 ports within the same rack or adjacent racks. It suits enterprises, cloud service providers, and high-performance computing environments that demand high bandwidth, minimal power draw, and simple plug-and-play installation.

Main features

Tips

Before installation, ensure both devices have SFP28 ports and support 25G speeds. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. For best performance, keep the cable away from sources of electromagnetic interference and secure it with cable ties to prevent accidental disconnection.
