100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 Active Optical Cable Multi-Vendor MSA Compatible

Asterfusion 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 Active Optical Cable, a high-performance module designed for short-range multi-lane data communication and interconnect applications. It features four pluggable, parallel, fiber-optic QSFP+ SR4 channels, making it suitable for 100 or 40 Gigabit Ethernet, as well as Infiniband FDR/EDR applications. With its integration of four data lanes in each direction, it achieves a bandwidth of 100 Gbps. Each lane can operate at 25 Gbps, supporting distances of up to 70 m using OM3 fiber or 100 m using OM4 fiber. This module operates over multimode fiber systems with a nominal wavelength of 850nm and utilizes a 38-contact edge connector for the electrical interface and a 12-fiber MTP (MPO) connector for the optical interface. It incorporates industry-proven circuit and VCSEL technology, ensuring reliable, high-performance, and long-lasting service.

FAQ

What is a 100G QSFP28 to 100G QSFP28 AOC cable?
Active optical cables designed for 100GbE connections. QSFP28 ports on both sides allow 100GbE switches, servers, and storage devices to connect directly.

Do I require 100G speeds in my networking equipment connection?
100G AOC cables are recommended for high-performance computing clusters, large data centers that need lots of bandwidth, real-time video and image processing programs, and adapting your network to future bandwidth needs.

Is this AOC cable compatible with my networking equipment?
Yes, Due to its MSA compliance, this AOC will function with many QSFP28-based networking devices from different companies.

What are the advantages of a 100G AOC cable?
AOC cables can transmit data up to 10 meters with negligible signal loss. AOC cable optic technology doesn’t get damaged by EMI like copper cables.

Can I transmit data far with a 100G AOC cable?
This AOC cable is 1–10 meters long. 100GbE applications over MMF (Multi-Mode Fiber), which should use shorter lengths for maximum performance.
