Description
The 100G QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a four-channel parallel optical interconnect designed for 100GbE and InfiniBand FDR/EDR applications. Equipped with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, it integrates four 850nm VCSEL transmit channels and four PIN receiver channels to provide 100Gbps-class full-duplex connectivity over OM3 multimode fiber. Integrated CDR circuitry helps maintain signal integrity for reliable high-speed transmission. With a maximum reach of 70m, this commercial-grade AOC provides a plug-and-play alternative to separate transceivers and fiber patch cables, simplifying installation and cable management in high-density data centers, including switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, and storage networking applications.
