The Cisco SFP-25G-AOC5M is a 5-meter long active optical cable designed for high-speed data center networking. This cable features two SFP28 connectors that are used to connect the cable to compatible networking devices.
The maximum transmission distance of the Cisco SFP-25G-AOC5M cable depends on various factors such as the environmental conditions and the type of networking devices being used. In general, however, the cable is designed to support transmission distances of up to 5 meters.
It's important to note that the maximum transmission distance specified by the manufacturer is based on ideal conditions and may be affected by various factors such as the quality of the fiber optic cable, the type of optical transceiver, the quality of the optical connectors, and the environmental conditions. In some cases, the actual transmission distance may be lower than the maximum specified distance.
Therefore, it is recommended to test the cable in the specific environment it will be used in to ensure that it meets the required performance standards before deploying it in a production environment.
Cable Connectors and CompatibilityThe SFP-25G-AOC5M is a 5-meter long Active Optical Cable (AOC) manufactured by Cisco, designed to provide high-speed connectivity between network devices that support 25 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) over a single, bidirectional 25G SFP28 interface.
The cable uses fiber optic technology to transmit data via light waves, which allows it to achieve higher data transmission rates and longer distances compared to traditional copper cables. The SFP-25G-AOC5M can support a maximum data transmission rate of 25 Gbps over its 5-meter length.
The SFP-25G-AOC5M features SFP28 connectors on both ends of the cable, which are compatible with any device that supports 25 GbE over SFP28 ports. This includes a wide range of network switches, routers, servers, and other devices that support 25 GbE.
The SFP-25G-AOC5M is compliant with the IEEE 802.3by and SFF-8402 standards for 25 GbE, which ensures compatibility with a wide range of network devices that support this standard. It also supports hot-swappable plug-and-play connectivity, which makes it easy to install and use in networking environments.
The high-speed connectivity provided by the SFP-25G-AOC5M makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including data center interconnects, storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, and other high-bandwidth networking environments. It is also a cost-effective solution for short-distance connectivity between network switches, routers, and servers that support 25 GbE.
Maintenance and TroubleshootingMaintaining and troubleshooting the Cisco SFP-25G-AOC5M 5M Active Optical Cable can help ensure that it operates reliably and performs optimally. Here are some tips for maintaining and troubleshooting the cable:
Maintenance:
- Keep the cable clean: Dust and debris can accumulate on the connectors of the cable, leading to poor signal quality and connection issues. Regularly cleaning the connectors with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol can help prevent these issues.
- Protect the cable from physical damage: Avoid bending or twisting the cable beyond its recommended bend radius, as this can cause damage to the fibers and degrade the cable's performance.
- Keep the cable dry: Moisture can damage the cable's internal components, so it's important to keep the cable dry and avoid exposing it to humidity or water.
Troubleshooting:
- Check the connectors: If you're experiencing connection issues, check the cable's connectors for signs of damage or debris. Cleaning or replacing the connectors may help resolve the issue.
- Check the cable for damage: Inspect the cable for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks or kinks. If you find damage, replace the cable to prevent further issues.
- Test the cable: Use a cable tester or diagnostic tool to test the cable's performance and identify any issues with signal quality or transmission speed.
- Check the networking devices: If you're experiencing issues with the cable, check the networking devices that are connected to it. Make sure that the devices are properly configured and that the ports are functioning correctly.
