## Summary description

Lightwin LWO-AOC-SFP28-5M is an active optical cable (AOC) providing 25Gb/s connectivity using SFP28 interfaces. Designed for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects, this SFP28-to-SFP28 cable delivers low-latency, electromagnetic immunity and long-reach optical transmission over a 5 m link. Suitable for data centre links, aggregation and uplink ports supporting 25 Gigabit Ethernet.

## Long description

Lightwin LWO-AOC-SFP28-5M is an active optical cable (AOC) designed to provide reliable 25Gb/s links between devices with SFP28 ports. With a 5 m multi-mode optical assembly and SFP28 connectors on both ends, the cable supports high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects while reducing susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. The aqua-coloured jacket helps visual identification and the plug-and-play SFP28 form factor is compatible with standard 25 Gigabit Ethernet ports used in data centre aggregation and uplink configurations.
Advantages
The cable delivers 25 Gbit/s full-duplex optical transmission over a 5 m link, offering low latency and electrical isolation compared with copper alternatives. As an active optical cable it integrates transceivers and optical fibre in a single assembly, eliminating separate module installation and simplifying cabling. The multi-mode design is suitable for short-reach data centre connections and the SFP28-to-SFP28 connectors maintain compatibility with common 25GbE interfaces.
Suitable for (tasks / use cases)
Server-to-switch connections inside racks and between adjacent racks
Switch uplinks and aggregation ports supporting 25 Gigabit Ethernet
High-density rack cabling where reduced electromagnetic interference is required
Short-reach optical links in data centre and enterprise network deployments
When it may not be suitable
This 5 m multi-mode AOC is intended for short-reach links; it is not suitable for long-distance campus or metropolitan connections that require single-mode fibre and extended reach transceivers. It also requires devices with SFP28 ports — it will not mate with different connector types without appropriate adapters or breakout modules.
Key specifications
Data rate: 25 Gbit/s
Length: 5 m
Connector type: SFP28 to SFP28 (male)
Fibre type: multi-mode (OM3-class)
Colour: aqua
Form factor: active optical cable (integrated transceivers)
How to use
Insert each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 port on your network devices until the latch engages. No external transceivers or separate module installation is required. After physical connection, verify link status on both devices and configure VLANs, link aggregation or interface settings as needed for your network. Handle the cable by the connectors and avoid tight bends to maintain optical performance; follow device vendor guidance for hot-plugging if applicable.
What to consider before purchase
Confirm both endpoints have SFP28 ports and support 25 Gb/s optical links
Verify required reach — 5 m is intended for short-reach, intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections
Ensure multi-mode OM3 is compatible with your existing fibre infrastructure and patch panels
Check device compatibility lists if using vendor-restricted equipment
Usage recommendations
Use the cable for short-distance 25GbE uplinks and server connections where low latency and EMI immunity are needed; route the aqua-coloured cable separately from power lines, avoid bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, and verify link negotiation settings on both devices after installation.
