Create a 25GbE optical interconnect between an Arista Networks endpoint and an Intel-compatible endpoint with a fixed 20 m active optical cable assembly. ADD-S28ARS28IN-O20M uses SFP28 terminations and 25GBASE-AOC signaling, providing a pre-terminated link for equipment that requires those distinct compatibility profiles at opposite ends. The 20 m reach suits links that extend beyond a single rack, including adjacent cabinets, top-of-rack switch connections, and server or storage links across a row. Active optical construction carries the optical path within the cable assembly, avoiding separate patch-fiber and transceiver selection for this specific connection. The SFP28 ends connect directly to the applicable 25GbE ports. This cable is differentiated within 25G connectivity options by its mixed Arista Networks-to-Intel compatibility and its 20 m active optical length. Select it when both endpoint compatibility requirements are known and the installation calls for a single, fixed-length 25GBASE-AOC assembly. Verify that the port at each end is an SFP28 25GbE interface and that its host platform accepts the corresponding compatibility profile before installation.
