Black Box QSFP-100G-AOC15M-BB 100Gbps Active Optical Cable
Overview
The Black Box QSFP-100G-AOC15M-BB is a 15-meter active optical cable (AOC) designed to provide high-speed 100 Gbps connectivity between network devices. This cable is engineered for environments requiring robust, high-bandwidth data transmission, such as data centers or high-performance computing clusters. Its active nature means it incorporates internal electronics to condition and amplify signals, ensuring signal integrity over its specified length, which is critical for maintaining data accuracy in demanding applications. The QSFP form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of modern networking equipment.
Compatibility
This AOC cable is specifically designed to be compatible with Cisco QSFP-100G-AOC15M transceivers and systems. It is suitable for connecting network switches, routers, servers, and other QSFP28-enabled devices that require a 100 Gigabit Ethernet link. Verify your network equipment supports standard QSFP28 interfaces for seamless integration.
Installation Notes
Ensure the QSFP ports on both connected devices are clean before inserting the cable. The cable is plug-and-play; no configuration is required on the network devices themselves. Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable to maintain signal integrity and prevent physical damage. The cable draws minimal power from the host device's QSFP port.
