Intel XXVAOCBL30M Compatible 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable, 30m (98ft)
This 30m (98ft) AOC assembly is made for installations that call for Intel XXVAOCBL30M at 25G. The SFP28 to SFP28 connectors and cable arrive as one complete product, ready for a direct link between suitable ports. Field-handling guidance, exact specifications and pre-packing functional checks apply to the part number shown here.

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.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
At 30m (98ft), XXVAOCBL30M 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 integrated optical cable and both optical engines along that path and keep both ends free from pull loads. The next shorter verified assembly is XXVAOCBL25M at 25m (82ft), which is the better comparison when the managed route leaves substantial unused cable.
Position Within the Length Range
XXVAOCBL30M is the longest of 11 verified length options in this family. Compared with XXVAOCBL25M 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.
Field Installation and Maintenance
Inspect the route and both connectors before installation, then support the cable without pulling on either connector housing. During maintenance, release the latch properly rather than using the cable as a handle. Keep protection on unused ends, and if the assembly is removed for later use, coil it loosely and record its part number so the same length can be returned to service. For this assembly, the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the jacket material is OFNP.
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.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
The cable and both connectors are inspected before a functional link test. Connector protection and bend-safe packing reduce handling damage during transport and storage. Customer or site labels can be added for field inventories, with different lengths separated to simplify issue and return of spare assemblies. Volume orders can include customer references on the labels and carton list.
Intel Compatibility and Factory Testing
A field-ready cable needs both correct identification and a stable operating link. Our pre-packing check therefore includes the connectors, host recognition and link behavior. For equipment with uncertain revision history, providing the host model and software release helps identify compatibility requirements before the assembly reaches the installation site. Where supported by the host, receive activity and diagnostic indications are reviewed together with the established link.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Intel cable?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies Intel XXVAOCBL30M.
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.
Does this order code cover multiple lengths?
No. XXVAOCBL30M refers here to 30m (98ft). Every other verified length has a separate part number and page in the length list.
Are separate transceivers or patch leads required?
No. This is one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable modules and should not be separated from the cable.
Ordering Information
Request the cable by its exact part number and length, and state the equipment model if compatibility confirmation is needed. Site orders can list quantities by rack or installation team. Any requested label should retain the part number so a removed or spare cable can still be identified accurately. Keep XXVAOCBL30M associated with 30m (98ft) 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. 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.
