Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates at a data transfer rate of 100 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as server interconnects, storage area networks, and high-performance computing clusters. The QSFP28 connector on each end ensures a secure and efficient connection, supporting hot-pluggable functionality for easy installation and maintenance without network downtime.
The fiber optic construction enables high-speed data transmission with low latency and electromagnetic interference immunity, crucial for maintaining data integrity in dense network environments. AOC technology integrates optical transceivers directly into the cable assembly, simplifying deployment by eliminating separate transceiver modules and reducing power consumption compared to traditional copper alternatives.
Key Product Advantages
This cable offers several advantages for network deployments, starting with its high-speed performance that supports 100 Gbit/s data transfer, enabling faster data flows and reduced bottlenecks in critical network paths. The active optical design ensures dependable operation with consistent signal quality over the full 10-meter length, minimizing errors and retransmissions that can impact network efficiency.
Reliable Connectivity
Provides stable network connectivity with uninterrupted operations, supporting consistent data flow across connected systems for mission-critical applications.
- Minimal signal loss
- Low latency transmission
- Electromagnetic interference immunity
Easy Integration
Fully compatible with network devices featuring QSFP28 ports, offering seamless integration without requiring additional configuration or drivers.
- Plug-and-play installation
