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 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.

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

At 7m (23ft), SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-7M23FT should be planned as an extended equipment-room connection rather than a short in-rack jumper. Mark the complete vertical and horizontal route before installation, including every manager the cable will actually pass through. Support the complete copper assembly and both connector housings along that path and keep both ends free from pull loads. Within this family, SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-6M20FT is shorter at 6m (20ft), while SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-8M26FT is the next longer choice at 8m (26ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.

Position Within the Length Range

SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-7M23FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-6M20FT at 6m (20ft) and SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-8M26FT at 8m (26ft). 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.

Rack Layout and Service Access

Plan the managed route before removing the connector protection. The cable should reach both ports without tension while leaving enough space to release the latches and service adjacent interfaces. Support the run through the intended managers, keep the connector boots clear of sharp edges and avoid storing excess length in a tight coil behind warm exhaust air. 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).

Quality Assurance and Packaging

The completed cable is inspected at both ends, functionally tested and coiled with bend-safe slack. Protective packaging keeps the latches and boots from taking impact, while optional project labels can identify the two endpoint locations for easier field service. Volume orders can include customer references on the labels and carton list.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

Compatibility is verified as part of a complete installation check: connector inspection, host identification and an operating link. The physical cable is evaluated together with the expected OEM identity, because a connector that fits is not sufficient evidence that the host will accept and operate the assembly correctly. The check includes link stability and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ordering Information

When requesting this assembly, include the exact part number and length together with the destination port types. For a rack installation, a simple port-to-port list helps us keep different lengths separate and allows any requested labels to correspond with the actual installation sequence. Keep SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-7M23FT associated with 7m (23ft) throughout the order and receiving record.

Shipping and Lead Time

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