FAQ
What is the data transfer rate of this AddOn AOC cable?
This AddOn Active Optical Cable supports a data transfer rate of 100 Gbit/s (100GbE). It uses QSFP28 connectors on both ends to deliver high-speed connectivity suitable for data center and enterprise network applications, enabling rapid data transmission for bandwidth-intensive tasks.
What type of fiber optic mode does this cable use?
The cable uses multi-mode fiber optics. Multi-mode fiber is designed for short-distance transmissions, making this 1-meter cable ideal for connections within racks or between adjacent network equipment in data centers, offering a cost-effective solution for high-speed links.
Is this cable TAA compliant?
Yes, this AddOn cable is TAA compliant. This means it meets the Trade Agreements Act requirements, making it suitable for U.S. government procurement and contracts, ensuring it adheres to sourcing regulations for federal and defense-related networking projects.
What is the warranty coverage for this product?
The cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This provides long-term support and reliability assurance, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifespan, which is beneficial for critical network infrastructure deployments.
What does AOC technology offer compared to other cable types?
Active Optical Cable (AOC) technology converts electrical signals to optical signals within the cable, reducing electromagnetic interference and signal degradation over distance. This results in more reliable performance for high-speed data transmission compared to passive copper cables, especially in electrically noisy environments.
What is the cable length and how is it measured?
The cable length is 1 meter, which is equivalent to 3.3 feet. This short length is designed for direct connections between network devices in close proximity, such as within server racks or between adjacent switches, minimizing cable clutter and optimizing airflow in data center setups.
