Description

ENET Solutions QS28AO2-ARMN-5M-ENC 100G QSFP28 AOC Cable

Overview

The ENET Solutions QS28AO2-ARMN-5M-ENC is a 100 Gigabit Ethernet Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for direct, high-density connections between QSFP28 ports. This cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber optic patch cords, providing a cost-effective and simplified solution for switch-to-switch or switch-to-server uplinks in data centers and high-performance networking environments. The QS28AO2-ARMN-5M-ENC model specifically offers a 5-meter length, ideal for rack-to-rack or in-rack connectivity.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for compatibility with Arista and Mellanox networking equipment featuring QSFP28 ports. It functions as a direct replacement for proprietary cables, ensuring seamless integration into existing network infrastructure. It is suitable for use with Arista 7000 series switches and Mellanox Spectrum switches, among others, that support standard 100GBASE-AOC specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is straightforward: simply plug the QSFP28 connectors into the corresponding ports on your networking devices. Ensure the ports are clean and free of debris. The active optical nature of the cable means no external power source is required. The 5-meter length provides flexibility for moderate distances within a data center rack or between adjacent racks.
