Product Overview
The Cisco 25GBASE SFP28 (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) portfolio offers customers a wide variety of high-density and low-power 25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options for data center and high-performance computing networks applications. The 25G Modules are based on SFP28 form factor.
Features and benefits of Cisco 25G Modules
Cisco SFP-25G copper cables
Cisco SFP-25G active optical cables
Cisco SFP28 to SFP28 Active Optical Cables are direct-attach fiber assemblies with SFP connectors. They are suitable for very short distances and offer a cost-effective way to connect within racks and across adjacent racks. Cisco offers Active Optical Cables in lengths of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 10 meters.
AOC cable require BASE-R FEC, or RS-FEC on the host ports.
