SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-8M26FTSFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-8M26FT 25G SFP28 Active Copper Twinax Cable, 8m (26ft)
For densely populated equipment, the fixed 8m (26ft) version of Generic SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-8M26FT offers a clearly defined 25G link without separate optical modules or patch cords. The ACC assembly uses SFP28 to SFP28; its power, mechanical and diagnostic details are listed where supplied so port density and cable management can be assessed together.

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
Measure twice before deploying this 8m (26ft) cable: once along the planned route and again after accounting for service access. The objective is adequate reach without a concealed surplus. Support the complete copper assembly and both connector housings, preserve front-panel clearance and check that nearby power cords or sharp hardware cannot damage the jacket. Within this family, SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-7M23FT is shorter at 7m (23ft), while SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-9M29FT is the next longer choice at 9m (29ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.
Position Within the Length Range
SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-8M26FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-7M23FT at 7m (23ft) and SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-9M29FT at 9m (29ft). 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 26AWG; the minimum bend radius is 28mm; the stated power consumption is ≤0.5W; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR).
Cable Construction and Routing
This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 28mm. 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. Neutral packaging and customer-specific packing documentation are available on request.
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-8M26FT associated with 8m (26ft) 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. Where supported by the host, link stability and diagnostic indications are reviewed together with the established link.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original equipment manufacturer cable?
No. It is manufactured by HT under our own manufacturer identity.
Are separate transceivers or patch leads required?
No. This is one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable modules and should not be separated from the cable.
Can excess cable be folded into a compact bundle?
No. Use a supported, bend-safe service loop and observe the listed minimum bend radius. Do not crease the cable or tighten ties around the connector boots.
Will any matching connector operate at the same speed?
Not necessarily. Both hosts must support the stated rate, identification, lane mapping and any required breakout configuration; mechanical compatibility alone is insufficient.
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. Worldwide courier services are available, with air or sea freight for consolidated shipments; freight-collect delivery and coordination with a customer’s logistics provider can be arranged.
