Description

Add-On QSFP-100GB-AOC2M-AO 2M 100G AOC QSFP28 Cable

Overview

The Addon QSFP-100GB-AOC2M-AO is a 2-meter active optical cable designed for high-speed 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It provides a direct, low-latency link between QSFP28 ports on network switches, servers, or other compatible equipment. This cable is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and enterprise deployments requiring adherence to trade agreements. Its active optical nature offers signal integrity over longer distances than passive copper cables, without the complexity or cost of transceivers and fiber patch cords.

Compatibility

This QSFP28 AOC is designed to connect directly between any two QSFP28 ports. It is compatible with network switches, routers, servers, and high-performance computing equipment that feature standard QSFP28 interfaces. Specific compatible families include, but are not limited to, Cisco Nexus series, Arista 7000 series, Juniper QFX series, and HPE FlexFabric switches. It functions as a direct replacement for similar MSA-compliant active optical cables.

Installation Notes

Ensure the QSFP28 ports on both devices are clean before insertion. The cable's connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Pull on the connector body, not the cable, when connecting or disconnecting. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F).
