High-speed 100G QSFP28 active optical cable for data center interconnects.
Data centers require high-density, low-latency connections to maintain performance in 100G Ethernet environments. Traditional copper cables often introduce weight and signal loss issues over longer distances, creating bottlenecks in switch-to-switch or server-to-switch links.
The QSFP28-AOC-3m delivers an aggregated rate of 100Gb/s using 850nm VCSEL technology, ensuring reliable transmission up to 70m on OM3 fiber or 100m on OM4. This eliminates bandwidth constraints while offering a smaller diameter and lighter weight than DAC alternatives.
Ideal for IEEE 802.3bm 100GBASE SR4 and InfiniBand FDR/EDR scenarios, this cable provides hot-pluggable convenience and RoHS compliance. It ensures stable, high-throughput connectivity for modern network infrastructure deployments.
Supports 100Gb/s aggregated rate with 25Gbps per lane for efficient data transfer.
Reaches up to 70m on OM3 and 100m on OM4 fiber, surpassing standard DAC limits.
Smaller diameter and lighter weight compared to traditional copper DAC cables.
Standard QSFP28 footprint allows for easy installation and replacement without powering down.
Compatible with 10Gbps and 25Gbps channels, supporting various Ethernet and InfiniBand protocols.
