JNP-25G-AOC-15MJuniper Networks JNP-25G-AOC-15M Compatible 25G SFP28 Active Optical Cable, 15m (49ft)
The JNP-25G-AOC-15M compatible cable combines 25G AOC connectivity with a defined 15m (49ft) pathway between SFP28 to SFP28 interfaces. It is intended for Juniper Networks equipment and is documented here as a distinct order code, allowing cable schedules, service access and related length selections to be reviewed before installation.

Juniper Deployment Reference
Juniper platform documentation distinguishes straight QSFP28 DAC or AOC connections from DACBO and AOCBO breakout operation. On channelized systems, the host port must be configured for the required breakout mode. Match this HT compatible cable to the exact Juniper part number and the intended platform configuration.
Structured Pathways and Serviceability
Treat the direct-attach assembly as part of the permanent pathway plan even when the link is expected to be temporary. Follow the intended horizontal and vertical managers, maintain the specified bend radius and leave service access around both ports. A small, supported service allowance is preferable to excess slack concealed inside a rack or placed under cable-tie pressure. For this assembly, the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the jacket material is OFNP.
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.
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.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
With 15m (49ft) available, the installer has more routing freedom but also more cable to control. Determine where any remaining service loop will be stored, preserve the stated bend radius and keep the loop away from sharp edges and hot exhaust. The integrated optical cable and both optical engines should remain accessible for inspection and removal. Within this family, JNP-25G-AOC-10M is shorter at 10m (33ft), while JNP-25G-AOC-20M is the next longer choice at 20m (66ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.
Position Within the Length Range
JNP-25G-AOC-15M occupies the middle of this family between JNP-25G-AOC-10M at 10m (33ft) and JNP-25G-AOC-20M at 20m (66ft). It adds 5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.
Ordering Information
Include the part number, fixed length, quantity and required pathway or rack grouping in the order information. The host model and firmware release are useful for change-controlled deployments. Different lengths should remain separate order lines so delivered labels and packing records agree with the pathway plan. Quantity and any labeling instructions should be attached specifically to JNP-25G-AOC-15M.
Juniper Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing
Verification covers the physical connectors, expected host identity and an operating link with available diagnostic indications. We distinguish this complete check from a simple continuity test. Platform model and software release can be reviewed in advance where the installation has strict documentation or change-control requirements. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes receive activity and diagnostic indications.
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.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
After connector inspection and link verification, the assembly is coiled without tight bends and packed with end protection. Labels can cross-reference the customer cable schedule, OEM part number and length. This supports both receiving checks and later moves, adds or changes. Volume orders can include customer references on the labels and carton list.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Juniper Networks cable?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies Juniper Networks JNP-25G-AOC-15M.
Does this order code cover multiple lengths?
No. JNP-25G-AOC-15M refers here to 15m (49ft). 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.
Can excess cable be folded into a compact bundle?
No. Use a supported, bend-safe service loop and observe the listed minimum bend radius. Do not crease the cable or tighten ties around the connector boots.
