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

A 9m (29ft) run can remain tidy when its pathway and service allowance are planned together. Keep the complete copper assembly and both connector housings away from tight cable-tie pressure, verify bend control at changes of direction and ensure that neither port supports the assembly’s weight. Record the exact order code after acceptance. The next shorter verified assembly is SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-8M26FT at 8m (26ft), which is the better comparison when the managed route leaves substantial unused cable.

Position Within the Length Range

SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-9M29FT is the longest of 9 verified length options in this family. Compared with SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-8M26FT at 8m (26ft), it provides 1m 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.

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 listed conductor specification is 26AWG; the minimum bend radius is 28mm; the stated power consumption is ≤0.5W; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR).

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. Keep SFP28 to SFP28-25G-ACC-9M29FT associated with 9m (29ft) throughout the order and receiving record.

Generic 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. The check includes link stability and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.

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.

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.
