Axiom AOC-S-S-25G-5M-AX 

Active Optical Cable (25G SFP28, 5 m)

The Axiom AOC‑S‑S‑25G‑5M‑AX is a 5‑meter Active Optical Cable(AOC) engineered for high‑performance 25 Gigabit Ethernet environments. It integrates an optical transceiver and multimode fiber into a unified SFP28 plug‑and‑play assembly—ideal for switch-to-switch and server-to-switch links. This cable is pre‑configured with Arista-compatible serialization, guaranteeing seamless OEM-level integration without manual setup. Lightweight and bend-friendly, its aqua-colored jacket improves airflow and helps maintain a clean rack environment. Fully compliant with SFP28 MSA standards, it delivers robust, low-latency 25 Gbps connectivity and is backed by Axiomtrusted warranty and support.

Features

The AxiomAOC‑S‑S‑25G‑5M‑AX adheres to SFP28 MSA and IEEE 802.3by (25GBASE‑CR) specifications, ensuring dependable 25 Gbps performance over its 5-meter OM3 multimode fiber span . Its Active Optical Cable design embeds both the transceiver and optical fiber into a single unit, offering superior signal integrity, extended reach, and immunity to electromagnetic interference—advantages over passive copper DACs Each cable includes factory‑loaded Arista-compatible serialization, eliminating compatibility issues and facilitating plug‑and‑go deployment equivalent to OEM originals . The lightweight, aqua-jacketed construction aids airflow and simplifies cabling, while maintaining structural resilience. Often offered with a limited lifetime warranty—and in some regions a 1-year warranty—this cable provides long-term reliability Designed for commercial deployment, it ensures steady operation across standard data center environments and dramatically lowers maintenance overhead.

Advanced Options

The AxiomAOC‑S‑S‑25G‑5M‑AX is built for high-availability network environments. Its integrated optical design minimizes failure points commonly associated with standalone transceivers and patch cords. Factory serialization tailored for Arista devices enables immediate deployment with near-zero configuration required Active optical technology ensures top-tier signal fidelity, enabling low bit-error rates and superior performance compared to copper-based alternatives. The cable’s lightweight, flexible design allows for tight deployments without sacrificing airflow or signal integrity—important for maintaining efficient cooling in dense racks.
