Connect adjacent 25G SFP28-equipped devices with a 1 m direct-attach copper link rather than assembling a separate optical transceiver and fiber patch cable. The TP-Link Omada SM6220-1M terminates in SFP28 interfaces and provides a fixed short-reach connection for rack equipment. Its 25G rating aligns it with high-bandwidth switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, or switch-to-storage links where both endpoints present compatible SFP28 ports. The one-meter cable length fits equipment positioned in the same rack or immediately adjacent rack space. A captive direct-attach assembly reduces the number of individual components at each end of the link, helping keep short interconnect paths organized. Plan routing carefully: the fixed 1 m length must reach the installed port locations without tension and allow the required cable-management path. This specific cable is the 1 m option for short connections where cable length is the primary selection point. It is not an optical module or a standalone network interface; it is a two-ended cable assembly for SFP28 ports. Select it when the installation calls for a 25G SFP28 cable at a one-meter reach, and verify that each endpoint has a compatible SFP28 interface before installation.
