SKU CH-2VAW-1FYV1 MPN 7Z57A03540-AX

A 25 Gbps active fibre cable with SFP28 ends links switches or servers over one metre

  • 25 Gbps connectivity with SFP28 active fiber cable
  • 1 metre reach for short-range rack links
  • Hot-pluggable SFP28 ends simplify installation
  • Fibre construction eliminates electromagnetic interference
  • Active design supports 25GBase-AOC performance

25GBase-AOC SFP28 Cable

The Axiom 7Z57A03540-AX is a 25GBase-AOC active fibre cable built for short-reach network links. It carries 25 Gbps traffic over a one-metre span between two SFP28 ports. Data-centre operators and system integrators use it for switch-to-switch or switch-to-server uplinks.

Upgrade from copper direct-attach

This active optical cable replaces passive copper direct-attach assemblies when the link budget or EMI environment demands fibre. The jump is worth it when rack density forces tight bends or when adjacent power gear creates noise that degrades copper signal integrity.

Suits SFP28 25 GbE ports

The cable suits any equipment exposing SFP28 receptacles rated for 25 GbE active-optical media. It is not for links requiring longer reach, higher lane speeds, or passive copper economics. Buyers needing different connector types or extended distances should look at other media.

Questions about this item

What SFP28 port spacing does the 1 m AOC need for a side-by-side switch installation?

The cable uses SFP28 connectors on both ends, so it fits any standard SFP28 cage spacing found on 25 GbE switches and NICs.

During first insertion, which end should seat before the other to avoid bending the active fiber?

Insert the module end into the switch cage until the latch clicks, then route the fiber and seat the second SFP28 end the same way.

How can I tell when the active optical cable should be replaced instead of just reseated?

Persistent link errors or a complete loss of the 25 GbE connection after cleaning both SFP28 faces indicate the active fiber assembly has failed.
