Lenovo 3 m 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable, 7Z57A03541 | Data Center

Keep 25G links tight, clean, and easy to manage with this 3 m SFP28 active optical cable. Designed for short-reach interconnects, it helps reduce cable bulk in high-density racks while preserving the signal path needed for modern server, switch, and storage deployments. The active optical design is well suited to environments where copper would be too heavy, too stiff, or too limiting for airflow and routing. At 3 m, this cable gives infrastructure teams enough length to route neatly between adjacent equipment without introducing unnecessary slack. That matters in crowded cabinets where every inch affects serviceability, bend radius management, and front-to-back airflow. For teams standardizing on 25G, it offers a clean way to connect SFP28 ports with less visual clutter and less mechanical strain than bulkier alternatives. Choose this cable when you need a purpose-built interconnect for dense data center layouts, short top-of-rack runs, or adjacent chassis connections. It is the kind of component that earns its place by making high-speed cabling easier to deploy, easier to maintain, and easier to keep orderly over time.
