## Summary description

A BlueOptics compatible SFP28 active optical cable (AOC) for Lenovo model 4X97A94702 offering 25GBASE-SR connectivity over multimode fiber. This 20 m OM3 AOC provides low-latency 25 Gbps links between switches, servers and network appliances, ideal for data center uplinks, TOR switches and high-speed server interconnects.

## Long description

BlueOptics compatible Lenovo 4X97A94702 SFP28 AOC cable 25GBASE-SR multimode OM3 20m is an active optical cable designed to provide a 25 Gbps short-range link over multimode fiber. This 20-metre OM3 AOC terminates in SFP28 connectors and is compatible with systems that accept the Lenovo 4X97A94702 form factor, offering low latency and stable high-speed connectivity between switches, top-of-rack (ToR) devices, servers and other network appliances in data centre environments.
Advantages
The cable delivers 25GBASE-SR performance with the signal integrity and low jitter characteristics expected from an active optical cable, while its 20 m length allows flexible rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections without transceivers and separate patch cords. As a multimode OM3 solution, it supports typical short-reach data centre distances with lower power consumption compared to some electrical copper alternatives and reduces heat and cabling bulk in dense server rooms.
Suitable for
Data centre uplinks between ToR switches and aggregation switches
High-speed server-to-switch interconnects
Switch-to-switch links inside racks or across adjacent rows up to 20 m
Network appliance connections requiring SFP28 25GBASE-SR compatibility
When it may not be suitable
This AOC is intended for short-reach multimode links and is not suitable for long-haul or single-mode fibre runs. It requires SFP28 ports that accept the Lenovo 4X97A94702 compatible form factor; it will not function in devices that only accept other connector types or incompatible vendor-locked modules. For runs beyond OM3 20 m practical range or when single-mode fibre is required, consider an alternative transceiver or cable type.
Key specifications
Data rate: 25 Gbps (per cable)
Form factor / connector: SFP28 to SFP28 active optical cable
Fibre type: Multimode OM3
Standard: 25GBASE-SR compliant
Length: 20 metres
Typical use: Short-range data centre interconnects, rack-to-rack links
How to use
Install the AOC by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the two network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered off or that hot-plug procedures recommended by the device manufacturer are followed. After insertion, verify link status and configuration on both devices; configure port speed and any required VLAN or link aggregation settings in the switch or server management interface. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and protect the cable from crushing or excessive tension.
What to consider before purchase
Confirm device compatibility with Lenovo 4X97A94702 compatible SFP28 modules and AOCs
Verify that OM3 multimode fibre and 20 m length meet your distance and bandwidth requirements
Ensure SFP28 ports on your equipment support 25GBASE-SR links and are not vendor-locked
Usage recommendations
Use this BlueOptics compatible 25G SFP28 AOC for short-range, high-density data centre interconnects where low latency and minimal cabling bulk are priorities. Store and route the cable with gentle bends, and confirm firmware/driver compatibility on network devices if link negotiation issues arise.
