Juniper Networks JNP-25G-AOC-2M Compatible 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable, 2m (7ft)

This JNP-25G-AOC-2M compatible AOC cable provides a 25G direct connection for Juniper Networks equipment in a fixed 2m (7ft) configuration. The SFP28 to SFP28 assembly integrates both ends and the cable, giving data-center designers one defined product to evaluate for reach, rack layout, airflow and host compatibility.

Juniper Deployment Reference

Juniper platform documentation distinguishes straight QSFP28 DAC or AOC connections from DACBO and AOCBO breakout operation. On channelized systems, the host port must be configured for the required breakout mode. Match this HT compatible cable to the exact Juniper part number and the intended platform configuration.

Integrated Optical Assembly

The optical engines and fiber are permanently integrated into this AOC. There are no detachable optical modules to clean or exchange. Handle the complete assembly by its connector housings and cable, and keep both ends matched to the same interface specification.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

JNP-25G-AOC-2M provides 2m (7ft) for connections between separated rack units or nearby equipment positions. Plan the route around cable managers and power cords, keeping the assembly free from connector strain while avoiding a large obstruction in the airflow path.

Position Within the Length Range

JNP-25G-AOC-2M occupies the middle of this family between JNP-25G-AOC-1M at 1m (3ft) and JNP-25G-AOC-3M at 3m (10ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

Data-Center Design and Airflow

Select the assembly by both reach and rack layout. A direct connection removes separate module-and-patch-cord interfaces, but it still needs a bend-safe pathway and clear connector access. Keep cable bundles from blocking front-panel airflow, account for the listed interface power where applicable and choose a length that supports maintenance without leaving an unmanaged coil. For this assembly, the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the jacket material is OFNP.

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses OFNP jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Each cable receives connector inspection and a functional link check before it is coiled with bend-safe slack and packed. Protective materials shield the connector housings during transport. Rack or project labels are available to keep length, part number and installation destination aligned. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.

Ordering Information

Provide the OEM reference, HT part number, fixed length and quantity, together with the intended host interfaces. Rack-based quantities and packaging instructions can be included for larger deployments. Other lengths are separate products and should be entered on their own order lines. Keep JNP-25G-AOC-2M associated with 2m (7ft) throughout the order and receiving record.

Juniper Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing

Compatibility confirmation combines host identification with actual link establishment and diagnostic checks. The assembly is prepared for the stated OEM reference rather than selected only by connector shape. For a new data-center deployment, the equipment model, port mode and software release provide the most useful basis for a pre-order review. The check includes receive activity and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an original Juniper Networks cable?

No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies Juniper Networks JNP-25G-AOC-2M.

Are separate transceivers or patch leads required?

No. This is one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable modules and should not be separated from the cable.

Can excess cable be folded into a compact bundle?

No. Use a supported, bend-safe service loop and observe the listed minimum bend radius. Do not crease the cable or tighten ties around the connector boots.

Will any matching connector operate at the same speed?

Not necessarily. Both hosts must support the stated rate, identification, lane mapping and any required breakout configuration; mechanical compatibility alone is insufficient.

Shipping and Lead Time

Available stock is generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation, with production lead times advised for larger quantities. International express, air cargo and sea freight can be selected according to destination and carton volume; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are also accepted.
