## Summary description

25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) by Lightwin, compatible with HP Aruba SFP and XFP ports. Provides 25 Gigabit/s data transmission over optical fiber with low latency and EMI immunity. Ideal for high-speed server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in data centers and enterprise networks where direct, reliable short to mid-range optical connections are required.

## Long description

Lightwin 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable for HP Aruba SFP/XFP LWO-AOC-SFP28-20M-HPE is a 20 m active optical cable (AOC) designed for short- to mid-range high-speed links. The cable uses SFP28 connectors at both ends and supports 25 Gbit/s data transmission over multimode fiber. It is colour-coded aqua, provides low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, and is compatible with HP Aruba SFP/XFP ports for reliable server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centre and enterprise network environments.
Advantages
The AOC delivers 25 Gbit/s throughput with the signal integrity and low latency expected for high-performance networking. Being an active optical solution, it reduces the need for separate transceivers and copper cabling while providing EMI immunity and lower heat dissipation in dense rack deployments. The 20 m length covers typical inter-rack or row-to-row connections, and the SFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP28 modules.
Suitable for
 Server-to-switch connections within the same rack or between adjacent racks
 Switch-to-switch links in data centre topologies requiring 25 Gbit/s bandwidth
 High-density environments where EMI immunity and reduced cabling bulk are desired
 Multimode fiber runs up to 20 m using SFP28 ports
When it may not be suitable
This AOC is designed for multimode, short- to mid-range connections and is not suitable for long-distance single-mode links. It requires compatible SFP28-capable ports on networking equipment; it will not function with devices that only accept other port types or non-SFP28 electrical interfaces. If passive copper cables or direct-attached copper are preferred for very short runs, an optical AOC may not be the optimal choice.
Key specifications
 Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC), multimode
 Data rate: 25 Gbit/s
 Connectors: SFP28 to SFP28 (male)
 Cable length: 20 m
 Optical grade: OM3 multimode
 Colour: Aqua
 Typical use: Short- to mid-range data centre links
How to use
Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and configured to operate at 25 Gbit/s or capable of negotiating the required speed. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces. Route the cable to avoid tight bends; follow the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to maintain optical performance. For secure operation, confirm the connected equipment recognises the module and that any port settings such as speed and FEC (if applicable) are configured correctly.
What to consider before purchase
 Ensure target devices have SFP28-compatible ports and support 25 Gbit/s links
 Confirm multimode OM3 is appropriate for your distance and fibre infrastructure
 Check required cable length and rack routing to avoid exceeding bend radius limits
 Verify vendor compatibility policies if your switches enforce transceiver checks
Usage recommendations
Use this Lightwin 25G SFP28 AOC for inter-rack or intra-row high-speed links where 25 Gbit/s performance and EMI immunity are required. Keep bends gentle, secure the cable to prevent strain on the SFP28 connectors, and validate link parameters in your switch management interface after installation.
