25G Active Optical Cable — SFP28 to SFP28 — 1m — Cisco-Compatible SFP-25G-AOC1M The SFP-25G-AOC1M is a Cisco-compatible 25G Active Optical Cable built on OM3 Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) with a fixed 1-meter link length. Each end integrates an MSA-compliant SFP28 (SFP form-factor) transceiver permanently attached to the fiber, delivering a simple, low-power solution for short-reach 25G Ethernet links inside data centers and telecom equipment rooms. 25G SFP28 AOC — Integrated SFP28 active optical cable supporting 10.31–25.78 Gbps data rates for 25G Ethernet applications. Cisco-compatible coding — EEPROM is programmed so the cable enumerates cleanly on Cisco platforms and works seamlessly with the latest Cisco switches and adapters. OM3 MMF, 850 nm optics — Uses an 850 nm VCSEL transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver over OM3 multimode fiber to provide a robust, low-latency 1 m link. MSA-compliant design — Meets SFP /SFP28 Multi-Source Agreement (SFF-8432) requirements for mechanical, electrical, and optical interfaces. Cost-effective short-reach interconnect — Ideal for top-of-rack, LAN/SAN, and intra-rack connections where 25G bandwidth is needed without the expense of separate optics and patch cords. Safety & environmental approvals — Fully CE and RoHS compliant, with product-safety standards met for use in carrier and enterprise environments. Extensive quality checks — Each AOC undergoes parameter measurement and EEPROM validation to confirm correct coding, optical budget, and error-free operation before shipment. Multi-vendor coding options — For mixed-vendor links, the ends can be coded differently for each brand (for example, Cisco on one side and another OEM on the other) to enable smooth interoperability. Network Racks Cable Management Why buy this 25G AOC from Gruber Cisco-verified behavior — We bench-test Cisco-compatible 25G AOCs against current switch and NIC platforms so you get reliable, production-ready links. Custom coding for each end — Need Cisco on one side and another brand on the other? Gruber can code each connector independently to support brand-to-brand interconnections. Data-center know-how — Our background in UPS, racks, structured cabling, and optics means we help you choose the right 25G interconnects for your real-world layout, not just what’s in a catalog. Serious QC before it ships — Every shipment is backed by documented optical and EEPROM tests, so you can plug these AOCs in with confidence.
