BlueOptics 4X97A94011-BO SFP28 AOC 25GBASE-SR 25m Compatible Lenovo

Active optical cable with SFP28 connectors delivers 25 Gbps over 25 meters of multi-mode fiber, fully compatible with Lenovo 4X97A94011. This AOC integrates the transceivers and fiber into a single, factory-terminated assembly, eliminating the need for separate optics and patch cords.

Advantages

Lower power consumption than discrete transceivers, with less than 1.5 W per end. Hot-swappable SFP28 ends allow installation without powering down the switch or adapter. Digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) provides real-time access to temperature, voltage, laser bias, and optical power. MSA compliance ensures interoperability with any SFP28 port. The 25 m reach covers most top-of-rack to end-of-row connections in data centers.

Suitable for

• 25 Gigabit Ethernet links in enterprise and cloud data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and storage area networks
• Lenovo switches, servers, and network adapters with SFP28 ports
• Short-reach interconnects between racks within the same row
