SFP28 to SFP28-25G-AOC-30M98FTSFP28 to SFP28-25G-AOC-30M98FT 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable, 30m (98ft)
For densely populated equipment, the fixed 30m (98ft) version of Generic SFP28 to SFP28-25G-AOC-30M98FT offers a clearly defined 25G link without separate optical modules or patch cords. The AOC 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.

Cable Construction and Routing
This assembly uses OFNP jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. 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.
Integrated Optical Assembly
The optical engines and fiber are permanently integrated into this AOC. There are no detachable optical modules to clean or exchange. Handle the complete assembly by its connector housings and cable, and keep both ends matched to the same interface specification.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
Measure twice before deploying this 30m (98ft) cable: once along the planned route and again after accounting for service access. The objective is adequate reach without a concealed surplus. Support the integrated optical cable and both optical engines, preserve front-panel clearance and check that nearby power cords or sharp hardware cannot damage the jacket. The next shorter verified assembly is SFP28 to SFP28-25G-AOC-25M82FT at 25m (82ft), which is the better comparison when the managed route leaves substantial unused cable.
Position Within the Length Range
SFP28 to SFP28-25G-AOC-30M98FT is the longest of 11 verified length options in this family. Compared with SFP28 to SFP28-25G-AOC-25M82FT at 25m (82ft), it provides 5m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.
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 minimum bend radius is 30mm; the jacket material is OFNP.
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. Quantity and any labeling instructions should be attached specifically to SFP28 to SFP28-25G-AOC-30M98FT.
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. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes receive activity and diagnostic indications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original equipment manufacturer cable?
No. It is manufactured by HT under our own manufacturer identity.
What details assist a compatibility review?
Provide the equipment manufacturer, model, port type, hardware revision and software release, together with the OEM reference, required length and quantity.
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.
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.
