Lightwin 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable 20m for HPE Aruba LWO-AOC-SFP28-20M-HPE

For data centers and enterprise networks that demand low-latency 25G links over longer distances, this Lightwin active optical cable replaces bulky copper DACs with a lightweight fiber assembly that maintains full signal integrity across 20 meters. It is factory-coded for HPE Aruba switches and adapters, so it appears as a native optic without extra configuration.

Highlights

• 25 Gbps throughput per lane with SFP28 connectors on both ends
• Active optical construction: immune to EMI, negligible bit errors
• 20 m reach – ideal for top-of-rack to end-of-row or cross-rack links
• HPE Aruba compatible coding, hot-swappable, DDM readouts
• LSZH jacket for low smoke and zero halogen in plenum spaces

In daily use

Because the cable draws less than 1.5 W per end and runs on standard 3.3 V SFP28 power, it adds almost no thermal load to your switches. The fiber core is multi-mode, and the assembly is factory-terminated and tested, so there is no cleaning or polishing on site. Simply plug it into any HPE Aruba 25G SFP28 port and the link comes up with auto-negotiation. DDM lets you monitor temperature, voltage, and optical power through the host CLI or management tool.
