FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this Axiom QSFP28 cable?
This Axiom Active Optical Cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s (100GbE). It is designed for high-bandwidth network connections in data center and enterprise environments, providing sufficient throughput for demanding applications like server clustering, storage networking, and data center interconnects.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this cable feature QSFP28 Network - Male connectors. The QSFP28 form factor provides a compact, high-density interface that supports the full 100GbE bandwidth. The male connectors are designed to mate with corresponding QSFP28 ports on network switches, servers, and other compatible equipment.
How does Active Optical Technology differ from passive copper cables?
Active Optical Technology integrates electronic components within the cable assembly to regenerate the optical signal. This provides several advantages over passive copper cables, including longer reach capabilities, immunity to electromagnetic interference, lower power consumption, and consistent signal quality across the cable length. The active components ensure reliable data transmission at the full 100 Gbit/s speed.
What is the cable length and is it suitable for rack installations?
This cable measures 3.3 feet (1 meter) in length, making it ideal for short-reach connections within equipment racks or between adjacent devices in data center environments. The compact length facilitates clean cable management while providing sufficient reach for typical rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections in high-density installations.
