Frequently Asked Questions
What type of devices are compatible with this TP-Link SFP28 cable?
This cable is compatible with any network device featuring SFP28 ports, including 25 Gigabit Ethernet switches, network interface cards (NICs), and servers from TP-Link Omada and other vendors.
Is this a passive or active cable, and what does that mean for my network?
This is a passive twin-ax cable, meaning it does not require external power and is ideal for short-distance connections (up to 1 meter). Passive cables are generally more cost-effective and consume less power than active optical cables.
Can this cable be used for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections?
While SFP28 ports are backward compatible with SFP+ (10GbE), using a 25G SFP28 cable for 10GbE connections is technically possible but typically over-spec'd. It is designed for optimal performance at 25Gbps.
What is the bending radius of this cable, and why is it important?
The cable has a bending radius of 2.25 cm. This specification is important for proper installation in tight spaces, ensuring the cable's integrity and performance are maintained without damage or signal degradation.
