5.4.3 Guidelines for 25GbE Copper Cables
When using 25GbE copper twinaxial cables with the FXT 5850 25GbE ports, the cables must meet these require-
ments to provide full 25GbE port speed:
• Use SFP28 direct-attach cables.
• Only passive type cables are supported. Active twinax and active optical cables (AOC) are not supported.
• For passive cables, the maximum length is 5 meters (16.4 feet).
• Cables must comply with SFF-8431 v4.1 and SFF-8472 v10.4 specifications.
• The cable’s SFF-8472 physical device identifier value must be 03h (SFP or SFP+). The value can be verified
with the cable manufacturer.
Note:
10GbE SFP+ direct-attach copper twinaxial cables are not forward-compatible with 25GbE SFP28 direct-
attach copper twinaxial cables. 10GbE SFP+ cables can be used with the dual rate 25GbE/10GbE ports in the FXT
5850, but the port speed will be limited to 10GbE. To obtain full 25GbE port speed, you must use 25GbE SFP28
direct-attach cables.
