Specifications

Exact Length and Product Identity

This product page covers SFP-25G-AO01-I in 1m (3ft). The OEM reference, physical length and HT factory configuration should remain together on the purchase order and receiving record. Other reaches or compatibility identities must be selected and verified separately rather than assumed to be interchangeable.

High-Density Rack Integration

In a densely populated rack, connector access and airflow are part of the link design. Choose the shortest length that follows the managed path comfortably, avoid tight bundles around the connector housings and preserve room for latch operation. Where power consumption is listed, include every populated interface in the host thermal budget rather than assessing a single cable in isolation.

Cable Construction and Installation Planning

This 1m (3ft) active optical assembly integrates the cable and optical engines, so no separate transceivers or patch leads are required. The stated OM3 construction and 850nm optics must be matched at both hosts. Route the assembly without pulling on either connector and observe the listed bend limit throughout the managed path.

Brocade Compatibility and Factory Testing

The assembly is evaluated for host recognition and stable link operation, with diagnostics checked where the interface provides them. This approach verifies more than electrical or optical continuity. Exact platform and firmware information remains valuable in high-density deployments because port mode and qualification policy can differ within the same connector family. Factory acceptance includes connector inspection, host identification, optical receive activity and an operating link. Both ends remain attached to the cable; they are not interchangeable standalone modules.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Each assembly receives a visual connector inspection and functional link check before it is coiled and protected. Packaging is selected to avoid compressing the cable into a tight bundle, and optional rack-based labels help maintain an orderly installation when many identical interfaces are populated together.

Ordering Information

Provide the exact part number, length, quantity and target interface density. For multi-rack projects, list each length separately and identify any preferred carton grouping. Host model and software information can be included for a compatibility review before production or dispatch. This page describes SFP-25G-AO01-I in 1m (3ft); quote this exact reference and length together with quantity and the intended host platform.

Shipping and Lead Time

Available stock is normally prepared for dispatch within one to three working days, while larger production requirements are scheduled with the order. International express, air cargo and sea freight can be selected according to destination and carton volume; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are also accepted.
