## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) by Lightwin, model LWO-AOC-SFP28-20M, is a 25 Gbit SFP28 multimode link designed for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects. Delivered as an SFP28-to-SFP28 20 m assembly, it provides low-latency optical connectivity without separate transceivers, suitable for data centers and backbone links requiring reliable 25 Gbit links.

## Long description

Lightwin 25 Gbit SFP28 Active Optical Cable LWO-AOC-SFP28-20M is a 20 m SFP28-to-SFP28 multimode AOC designed for 25 Gbit/s direct server, switch and storage interconnects. The assembly integrates optical transceivers in the cable ends, eliminating the need for separate modules and providing low-latency optical links suitable for data centre and backbone applications. The cable is supplied in aqua colour and is intended for short-range high-speed links where a compact, plug-and-play SFP28 connection is required.
Advantages
The Lightwin AOC delivers 25 Gbit/s data transfer over multimode OM3 fibre in a single pre-terminated cable, offering predictable performance and simplified installation compared with discrete transceivers and patch cords. By integrating the optical interfaces in a passive assembly, it reduces rack space usage and avoids separate inventory for transceiver modules. The 20 m length covers typical inter-rack and row-level connections while preserving signal integrity and low latency for enterprise and cloud environments.
Suitable for
 Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in data centres
 High-density rack interconnects up to 20 m
 Storage area network (SAN) connectivity requiring 25 Gbit/s
 Backbone and top-of-rack links where SFP28 ports are available
When it may not be suitable
This AOC is designed for multimode OM3 environments and short-range links; it is not intended for long-reach single-mode applications or inter-building distances that exceed multimode limitations. It also requires devices with SFP28-compatible ports and may not function with equipment that requires different connector types or non-compatible vendor locks without prior compatibility verification.
Key specifications
 Data rate: 25 Gbit/s
 Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (male)
 Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC), multimode
 Fibre grade: OM3 multimode
 Length: 20 m
 Colour: Aqua
 Form factor: Pre-terminated plug-and-play assembly
How to use
Install the Lightwin 25 Gbit SFP28 AOC by inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on connected devices until the latch engages. Verify that linked devices detect the optical link and negotiate 25 Gbit/s operation. No separate transceivers, fibre terminations or external power are required for the cable itself. When removing the cable, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the cable or port.
What to consider before purchase
 Confirm both devices have SFP28-compatible ports and support 25 Gbit/s links
 Ensure the 20 m length fits the planned routing and rack layout
 Verify multimode OM3 performance is appropriate for your distance and environment
 Check vendor compatibility and any port locking or firmware requirements on your equipment
Usage recommendations
Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius specified for OM3 AOC assemblies and secure the cable to rack management points. Use the 20 m Lightwin SFP28 AOC for short-range high-speed links where low latency and reduced rack space are priorities, and verify link negotiation after installation.
