Specifications

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is < 1W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

Position Within the Length Range

SFP28-25G-AOC-10M33FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP28-25G-AOC-7M23FT at 7m (23ft) and SFP28-25G-AOC-15M49FT at 15m (49ft). It adds 3m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. 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 stated power consumption is < 1W; 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.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include SFP28 MSA，IEEE 802.3by 25GBASE-SR. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

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

A 10m (33ft) run can remain tidy when its pathway and service allowance are planned together. Keep the integrated optical cable and both optical engines away from tight cable-tie pressure, verify bend control at changes of direction and ensure that neither port supports the assembly’s weight. Record the exact order code after acceptance. Within this family, SFP28-25G-AOC-7M23FT is shorter at 7m (23ft), while SFP28-25G-AOC-15M49FT is the next longer choice at 15m (49ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.

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 SFP28-25G-AOC-10M33FT associated with 10m (33ft) throughout the order and receiving record.

Generic 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.
