Description

100G QSFP28 TO QSFP28 Active Optical Cable 

Key attributes

QSFP28 AOC (Active Optical Cable) consists of two QSFP28 modules and a fiber cable assembly, transmitting up to 25Gbps in each direction over a OM3 MMF with distance up to 70 meters or a OM4 MMF with distance up to 100 meters. SFP28 AOC can be used as an alternative solution to QSFP28 DAC, while providing improved signal integrity, longer distances, superior electromagnetic immunity and better bit error rate performance.

This product features high performance, low power consumption, and long-distance connectivity. It is compatible with 100G Ethernet, InfiniBand QDR/DDR/SDR, multi-rate Fibre Channel, PCIe, and SAS applications.

FAQ

Q1: When should I choose AOC instead of DAC?

A1: AOC is recommended when:

  • You need distance above 5m–7m
  • You deploy in high-density racks
  • You want lower cable weight and better airflow
  • Your environment has electromagnetic interference
  • You require stable high-speed performance for 25G/40G/100G/200G

Q2: Are AOC cables plug-and-play?

A2: Yes. Most AOC cables are factory pre-terminated and designed to be plug-and-play, requiring no configuration.

    Q3: Are AOC cables compatible with Cisco / Arista / Juniper / Mellanox?

    A3: Many AOC cables can be supplied in brand-compatible coding, such as:

    • Cisco Compatible
    • Arista Compatible
    • Juniper Compatible
    • Mellanox / NVIDIA Compatible
    • HPE / Dell Compatible
    • Huawei Compatible

    Q4: Can AOC cables be used for server-to-switch connections?

    A4: Yes. AOC is especially common in high-performance computing environments where bandwidth stability is critical.
