Add-On ADD-Q28INQ28MX-O5M INTEL/MELLANOX COMP TAA 100G-AOC AOC 5M

Overview

The Add-On ADD-Q28INQ28MX-O5M is a 5-meter TAA-compliant Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for high-speed 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It leverages Intel/Mellanox technology to provide a reliable, direct-connect solution for data center and enterprise networking environments where TAA compliance is a requirement. This cable is engineered for point-to-point connectivity between network devices, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, thereby simplifying installation and reducing potential points of failure.

Compatibility

This 100Gbps AOC is designed for compatibility with network switches, servers, and other equipment featuring QSFP28 ports. It is intended for use with Intel and Mellanox networking components, ensuring seamless integration within those ecosystems. Verify your network device's QSFP28 port specifications to confirm compatibility with 100G AOCs.

Installation Notes

The ADD-Q28INQ28MX-O5M requires a QSFP28 port on both connected devices. Ensure the port is clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable is designed for direct connection and does not require any configuration or drivers. Handle the cable by the connector ends to avoid damaging the optical fibers. Operating temperature range is critical for maintaining signal integrity; consult the manufacturer's specifications for precise environmental limits.
