FAQ
What is the data transfer rate of this Axiom AOC cable?
This cable supports a data transfer rate of 100 Gbit/s (100 gigabits per second), making it suitable for high-speed network applications like data center interconnects, server-to-switch links, and network backbone connections that require maximum throughput and low latency.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
The cable is compatible with routers and switches that have QSFP28 ports. It is specifically noted as Edge-Core compatible, meaning it is designed to work seamlessly with Edge-Core networking hardware, but it may also function with other brands that support standard QSFP28 interfaces for 100GbE connections.
How long is the cable and what type is it?
The cable length is 10 meters, which is equivalent to 32.8 feet. It is a fiber optic cable, using optical fibers to transmit data, which provides advantages like minimal signal loss, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and lightweight construction compared to copper cables.
What does AOC technology mean for this cable?
AOC stands for Active Optical Cable, which means the optical transceivers are integrated directly into the cable ends. This eliminates the need for separate transceivers, simplifying deployment, reducing points of failure, and providing a plug-and-play solution for 100GbE connections over fiber optic media.
