Specifications

Exact Length and Product Identity

This product page covers SFP-25G-AO01-I in 1m (3ft). The OEM reference, physical length and HT factory configuration should remain together on the purchase order and receiving record. Other reaches or compatibility identities must be selected and verified separately rather than assumed to be interchangeable.

Cable Construction and Installation Planning

This 1m (3ft) active optical assembly integrates the cable and optical engines, so no separate transceivers or patch leads are required. The stated OM3 construction and 850nm optics must be matched at both hosts. Route the assembly without pulling on either connector and observe the listed bend limit throughout the managed path.

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.

Cisco 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. Factory acceptance includes connector inspection, host identification, optical receive activity and an operating link. Both ends remain attached to the cable; they are not interchangeable standalone modules.

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. This page describes SFP-25G-AO01-I in 1m (3ft); quote this exact reference and length together with quantity and the intended host platform.

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.

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.
