Move 25G traffic farther without changing the physical design of the link. This Dell to Intel compatible SF28AO2-DEIN-10M active optical cable is built for 25GBASE-AOC deployments using SFP28 connectors on both ends. At 10 m, it gives infrastructure teams the reach needed to cross racks, route around obstacles, or connect equipment that cannot sit side by side. Compared with passive copper, an AOC provides the flexibility of optical transmission in a single integrated assembly. That can simplify installation in dense environments where cable paths are longer than a DAC can support, yet still short enough to avoid the overhead of separate transceivers and fiber jumpers. The result is a cleaner physical layer for 25G links that need more reach without adding complexity. TAA compliance supports procurement in regulated and public sector environments. For teams standardizing on SFP28 infrastructure, this cable is a straightforward way to preserve signal quality and maintain orderly cable management across structured rack layouts. It is a strong fit when the network design calls for dependable 25G connectivity over a controlled short-to-medium distance.
