Product description

The FN-CABLE-SFP28-5 is Fortinet’s longest passive 25GBASE-CR direct-attach cable at 5 metres, for 25GbE links that span a few racks in a row. Passive twinax carries the full 25G with SFP28 ends integrated, under 0.1W of draw, and a -40 to 85 degrees C rating for warm environments. It keeps a cross-row 25G link on low-cost copper with nothing extra to plug in.

Where this cable fits

5m is the practical ceiling for passive 25G twinax, spanning several racks in a row for 25G uplinks and stacking without stepping up to optics and fiber. It keeps a cross-row link on low-cost copper while power draw stays negligible and the appliance can still read cable diagnostics. For anything longer, the FN-TRAN-SFP28-SR optic over multimode fiber is the right move.

Compatibility

Connects two SFP28 ports on 25GbE-capable FortiGate and FortiSwitch models as a single fixed-end assembly. Shorter runs use the 1m FN-CABLE-SFP28-1 or 3m FN-CABLE-SFP28-3; past 5m, switch to FN-TRAN-SFP28-SR or LR optics over fiber.
