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.

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.

Dell Compatibility and Factory Testing

The verification process combines digital identification with a live link test and diagnostic observation. Host model, hardware revision and software release are useful inputs because qualification behavior can change between platform generations; those details allow platform-specific requirements to be reviewed before the cable is packed. 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.

Interoperability and Configuration Checks

Check three layers before deployment: the host must accept the cable identification, the port must support the stated aggregate rate, and the lane configuration must match the attached interfaces. On breakout hardware, also confirm channelization and the mapping of every branch. These checks are particularly important when similar-looking ports operate at different speeds or under different firmware settings.

Ordering Information

Specify the OEM part number and fixed length, then provide the intended host configuration if the link uses channelized or breakout ports. Separate part numbers should be used for separate lengths. This gives the compatibility review enough information to check both the physical assembly and the intended operating mode. 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 generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation, with production lead times advised for larger quantities. Delivery can be arranged by courier, air freight or sea freight, and goods may instead be handed to an appointed forwarder or shipped on the customer’s courier account.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Functional inspection covers identification, link establishment and the condition of both connector assemblies. The cable is then protected against dust and connector damage and packed without sharp bends. Labels can include the customer reference and host-platform note when requested for a controlled deployment.
