Axiom AOC-S-S-25G-3M-AX

25Gbase-AOC Active Optical Cable – SFP28 to SFP28-10 ft – Fiber Optic – Active

The AxiomAOC‑S‑S‑25G‑3M‑AX Active Optical Cable delivers 3‑meter, 25 Gbps interconnect flexibility via SFP28 form factors, optimized for high-bandwidth applications such as rack-to-rack, leaf-spine network fabrics, and HPC clusters. This AOC artfully merges the optical transceiver and multimode fiber into a unified, plug‑and‑play cable, eliminating separate modules or patch cords. Pre-flashed and uniquely serialized for OEM compatibility (e.g., Dell, Arista, Cisco), it ensures seamless interoperability with zero configuration. Lightweight and bend-friendly, it supports efficient cable management and enhanced airflow in dense enclosures. Meeting the 25GBASE‑CR and SFP28 MSA standards, and backed by a lifetime warranty, this cable combines robust performance with deployment simplicity—perfect for enterprise environments demanding consistent, low-latency optical connectivity.

Features

The Axiom AOC‑S‑S‑25G‑3M‑AX is designed in full compliance with the SFP28 Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and IEEE 802.3by 25GBASE‑CR specifications, supporting reliable 25 Gbps data transmission over 3 m of OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber. Similar products listed in outlets such as CDW (Proline Dell compatible) are preprogrammed, uniquely serialized, and TAA-compliant—ensuring dependable interoperability without firmware conflicts Its active optical architecture ensures superior signal integrity, extended reach, and resistance to electromagnetic interference—advantages over passive copper DACs . The built-in DDM/DOM interface provides real-time monitoring via I²C, tracking parameters like optical power, temperature, and supply voltage for proactive maintenance capability . With a low power draw (≈ 1 W per end) and a compact 7.5 mm minimum bend radius, it supports tidy installations in high-density racks. Rated for ambient operations from 0 °C to 70 °C, the cable is built for consistent, long-term performance in demanding network environments 

Advanced Options

The AxiomAOC‑S‑S‑25G‑3M‑AX is engineered for high-reliability performance in mission-critical environments. By integrating optical transceivers within the cable, it removes the typical pain points of separate modules and patch cords—reducing the risk of misalignment and connection failure. Built-in quality-assurance and unique serialization ensures flawless interoperability with OEM systems like Dell, Cisco, and Arista
