Add-On QSFP-100G-AOC10M-AO 10M Active Optical Cable

Overview

The Add-On QSFP-100G-AOC10M-AO is a 10-meter active optical cable (AOC) designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connections. It provides a high-speed, low-latency link between network devices equipped with QSFP28 ports, ideal for demanding data center interconnects, high-performance computing clusters, and backbone network aggregation. This AOC simplifies deployment by integrating fiber optic transceivers directly into the cable assembly, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords.

Compatibility

This QSFP28 AOC is engineered for direct compatibility with network switches, routers, servers, and other equipment featuring standard QSFP28 ports. It is designed to interoperate with a wide range of 100GbE infrastructure components that adhere to the QSFP28 Multi-Source Agreement (MSA).

Installation Notes

Ensure the QSFP28 ports on both connected devices are clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable should be handled with care to avoid kinking or excessive stress on the connectors. The AOC draws power from the host equipment's QSFP28 port, requiring no external power source. Insertion and removal should be performed with the equipment powered off or in a manner that prevents damage to the port contacts.
