Description
Introduction to the Optical Cable
The Cisco SFP-25G-AOC1M is a 1-meter long active optical cable that is designed for high-speed data center networking. The cable features two SFP+ connectors that are used to connect the cable to compatible networking devices.
This active optical cable is capable of supporting data transfer speeds of up to 25 gigabits per second (25G), making it ideal for use in high-speed networking environments. It can be used for a variety of applications, including storage area networks (SANs), data center networking, and high-performance computing.
The SFP-25G-AOC1M cable is designed to be used with devices that support 25G Ethernet, and it is compatible with a wide range of networking equipment from Cisco and other manufacturers. It offers reliable performance and high-speed data transfer, which makes it an ideal choice for applications that require high bandwidth and low latency.
One of the key benefits of using the SFP-25G-AOC1M cable is that it eliminates the need for separate optical transceivers and fiber optic cables, simplifying installation and reducing costs. The cable is also highly durable, with a rugged design that makes it resistant to damage from bending and twisting.
High-Speed Connectivity
The SFP-25G-AOC1M is a 1-meter long Active Optical Cable (AOC) manufactured by Cisco. It is 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-AOC1M can support a maximum data transmission rate of 25 Gbps over its 1-meter length.
The high-speed connectivity provided by the SFP-25G-AOC1M 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.
