Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is ≤0.5W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.
Network and Protocol Considerations
The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include IEEE 802.3, SFP28 MSA, SFF-8402. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
The 4m (13ft) length gives SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-4M13FT more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. Longer copper runs need particular attention to routing weight and bend control; the ACC specification and host support must still match the intended link.
Position Within the Length Range
SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-4M13FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-5M16FT at 5m (16ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.
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. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 30AWG; the minimum bend radius is 22.5mm; the stated power consumption is ≤0.5W; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR).
Cable Construction and Routing
This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 22.5mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.
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. Volume orders can include customer references on the labels and carton list.
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. Keep SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-4M13FT associated with 4m (13ft) throughout the order and receiving record.
Generic 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. The check includes link stability and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original equipment manufacturer cable?
No. It is manufactured by HT under our own manufacturer identity.
How should an unused assembly be stored?
Protect both connector ends, keep the cable in a loose bend-safe coil and retain its part-number label so the length and compatibility identity remain traceable.
Can different brands be connected with the same assembly?
Only where both hosts explicitly support the complete interface and compatibility arrangement. Document each end and select the appropriate brand-specific product when required.
Does this order code cover multiple lengths?
No. SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-4M13FT refers here to 4m (13ft). Every other verified length has a separate part number and page in the length list.
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.
