FAQ About 25G SFP28 AOC Cables
The Fibrecross 25G AOC cable supports transmission up to 100 meters over OM4 multimode fiber and 70 meters over OM3 fiber. It is the preferred choice for short-reach 25G connectivity in high-density environments like top-of-rack (ToR) deployments.
While both solutions support 25Gbps data rates, 25G AOC cables provide longer transmission distances, greater EMI immunity, and lower crosstalk than 25G DAC cables. AOCs are ideal for medium-reach connections where performance and stability are critical.
Yes, Fibrecross 25G SFP28 AOCs are compatible with major brands including Cisco, Arista, Juniper, and others, ensuring plug-and-play interoperability in multi-vendor data center networks. Compatibility testing can be requested upon order.
Absolutely. The 25G SFP28 AOC cable is ideal for HPC and AI workloads that demand low-latency, high-throughput links between GPU servers or compute nodes. Its low power consumption and high EMI resistance make it a reliable choice.
Fibrecross 25G AOC cables comply with industry standards including SFF-8432 and IEEE 802.3by, ensuring electrical and optical performance consistency in professional network infrastructures.
