Description

Lenovo 7Z57A03549 15m AOC

Overview

The Lenovo 7Z57A03549 is a 15-meter 100Gbps QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC). It's designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency connections within data centers, server racks, and high-performance computing environments where direct attach copper cables become impractical due to length limitations. This cable enables reliable data transmission between network switches, servers, and storage devices at 100GbE speeds over a 15-meter reach.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with Lenovo ThinkSystem servers and network switches that feature QSFP28 ports supporting 100GBASE-SR4 standards. Specifically, it is designed to interconnect devices such as the ThinkSystem Broadcom 57508 100GbE QSFP56 Ethernet Adapters (4XC7A08297, 4XC7A08243) and network switches equipped with QSFP28 interfaces. Ensure your equipment supports 4x25Gbps lane aggregation for 100Gbps connectivity.

Installation Notes

Active Optical Cables require careful handling to avoid damage to the optical fibers and connectors. Ensure the QSFP28 ports on both devices are clean before insertion. The cable's integrated electronics manage signal integrity over its 15-meter length, eliminating the need for external transceivers at each end. No specific torque or specialized tools are required beyond standard rack and cable management practices.
