Specifications

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.

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses 28AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 24mm. 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.

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

Choose SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-6M20FT when the measured managed path justifies 6m (20ft), not simply to leave a large spare coil. Additional reach can simplify adjacent-rack routing, yet unused cable still needs bend-safe storage and ventilation clearance. Keep identification visible so this extended version is not confused with shorter spares. Within this family, SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-5M16FT is shorter at 5m (16ft), while SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-7M23FT is the next longer choice at 7m (23ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.

Position Within the Length Range

SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-6M20FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-5M16FT at 5m (16ft) and SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-7M23FT at 7m (23ft). 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.

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. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 28AWG; the minimum bend radius is 24mm; the stated power consumption is ≤0.5W; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR).

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’s fixed configuration is 6m (20ft); another length must be quoted under its corresponding part number.

Generic 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. The check includes link stability and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed 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.

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. Volume orders can include customer references on the labels and carton list.
