Cabo de fibra ótica AOC CBO QSFP-100G-D-AOC-5M — cabo ótico ativo QSFP+ 100G, 5 m

The AOC QSFP-100G-D-AOC-5M is a 5‑metre QSFP+ active optical cable designed to provide 100G connectivity between compatible QSFP+ ports. Intended for data center and enterprise networking environments, this fiber cable converts electrical signals to optical and back within the assembly to enable high‑speed, low‑latency links. Its optical transmission reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and supports short‑reach links for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch and aggregation connections.

Advantages

This QSFP+ 100G active optical cable offers high bandwidth at low latency over a compact, pre‑terminated assembly that eliminates field termination and simplifies installation. The optical medium reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, and the fixed 5‑metre length provides predictable loss and signal characteristics. Designed for hot‑plug QSFP+ ports, the cable supports immediate link bring‑up and stable performance in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch 100G links in data centers
• Switch-to-switch uplinks and aggregation layers
• High‑performance computing clusters with short‑reach optical interconnects
• Carrier and enterprise network equipment installations requiring 100G connectivity

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Data rate: 100 Gbit/s
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 5 metres
• Medium: Multimode optical fiber within AOC assembly
• Typical use: Short‑reach optical interconnects

How to use

Verify that both devices support QSFP+ 100G links and power down or follow hot‑swap procedures recommended by your equipment vendor. Align and insert each QSFP+ plug into the corresponding port until the latch engages. After connection, monitor link status via switch or host interface to confirm established 100G link. To disconnect, release the latch and withdraw the module straight from the port. Store the cable with protective caps on connectors when not in use to prevent contamination.

Recommendations

Route the cable with gentle bends and avoid tight radius turns to preserve fiber integrity; follow rack management practices to prevent stress on QSFP+ connectors. Use this 5‑metre AOC for links within the same rack or adjacent racks where a fixed short‑reach optical solution is required. Keep connectors clean and inspect for debris before mating to ensure reliable optical performance.
