Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable utilizes 850nm wavelength multi-mode fiber technology to deliver 100 Gbit/s throughput with minimal signal degradation over its 20-meter span. The QSFP28 connectors on both ends provide a hot-pluggable interface that supports high-density switch and server configurations common in modern data centers.
The cable's active optical components convert electrical signals to optical signals internally, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and reducing points of failure. This integrated approach simplifies cabling while maintaining the performance benefits of fiber optic transmission, including immunity to electromagnetic interference and lower power consumption compared to copper alternatives.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Fiber Optic Mode, Cable Length, Country of Origin, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What type of cable is the AddOn 100FRRF0200-AO?
The AddOn 100FRRF0200-AO is a QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) that integrates optical transceivers directly into the cable assembly. This 100GBase-AOC cable uses multi-mode fiber optics to transmit data at 100 Gbit/s over distances up to 20 meters without requiring separate pluggable transceiver modules.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 100 Gbit/s (100GbE). The QSFP28 interface and active optical components are designed to maintain this throughput across the entire 20-meter cable length with reliable signal integrity suitable for data center networking applications.
What does TAA compliant mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates this cable meets U.S. government procurement requirements for products supplied under federal contracts. The AddOn 100FRRF0200-AO is manufactured in the United States and complies with TAA regulations, making it suitable for government, education, and institutional purchases where these standards are mandatory.
What is Omni-Path Architecture compatibility?
Omni-Path Architecture (OPA) compatibility means this cable is optimized for Intel's high-performance computing fabric technology. When used with OPA-enabled switches and adapters, the cable supports the low-latency, high-bandwidth communication required for HPC, AI, and data-intensive workloads in Intel-based computing environments.
What type of fiber and wavelength does this cable use?
This cable uses 850nm wavelength multi-mode fiber (MMF) optics. The 850nm specification is optimized for short-reach applications up to 20 meters, which is typical for data center interconnects within and between racks. Multi-mode fiber provides cost-effective high-bandwidth connectivity for these distance requirements.
What warranty comes with this Active Optical Cable?
The AddOn 100FRRF0200-AO comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This warranty coverage reflects the product's durable construction and reliability for continuous operation in demanding networking environments, providing long-term assurance for your infrastructure investment.
