Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable leverages AOC technology to convert electrical signals to optical and back, enabling high-bandwidth transmission with low latency and power consumption. The QSFP28 form factor supports the 100GBASE-SR4 standard, utilizing four parallel 25 Gb/s lanes to achieve aggregate 100 Gb/s throughput. The multimode fiber core is optimized for 850nm VCSEL-based optics, ensuring efficient data integrity over the specified reach.
The cable assembly is factory-terminated and tested, providing consistent performance without the alignment issues associated with separate components. It operates within standard QSFP28 power and thermal envelopes, making it suitable for dense switch configurations. The integrated design reduces points of failure and simplifies inventory management compared to discrete transceiver and cable solutions.
Key Product Advantages
This AOC offers several advantages for modern network environments. Its integrated design reduces installation complexity and improves reliability by minimizing connector interfaces. The plug-and-play functionality allows for quick deployment without manual fiber handling or cleaning, reducing the risk of contamination and damage.
