Cabo ótico ativo AOC CBO JNP-100G-AOC-20M 100G, 20 m

The AOC CBO JNP-100G-AOC-20M Active Optical Cable 100G, 20 m by BlueOptics provides 100 Gigabit connectivity over a 20-metre optical link. Designed for data center and enterprise networking environments, this active optical cable integrates transceivers and multimode fiber in a single assembly to deliver high-speed, low-latency links between switches, servers and storage systems. The plug-and-play design eliminates separate transceiver installation, while the 20 m length supports medium-distance interconnects within racks, between adjacent aisles or across equipment rooms.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers high bandwidth and consistent 100G performance with lower power consumption compared with equivalent electrical copper solutions. Integrated optical transceivers reduce component count and simplify deployment, and the single-cable form factor reduces cabling clutter. The optical medium provides immunity to electromagnetic interference and enables stable signal quality over the full 20 m length. Compatibility with common 100G ports allows straightforward integration into existing network infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Inter-rack and intra-rack connections in data centres
• High-performance server-to-switch links
• Storage area network (SAN) and backup systems requiring 100G bandwidth
• Network refreshes and consolidation projects seeking simplified cabling

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 100 Gigabit per second
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable with integrated transceivers
• Length: 20 metres
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fibre
• Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for high-throughput applications
• Power profile: energy-efficient optical signalling (lower power vs comparable copper alternatives)
• Connector arrangement: dual-ended plug-and-play assembly for compatible 100G ports

How to use

Install the active optical cable by inserting each connector end into compatible 100G ports on your switches, servers or storage devices until the latch engages. No separate transceivers or fibre termination is required. Ensure both ends are matched to supported 100G interfaces and verify link status through the network equipment management interface. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it to cable management structures to maintain minimum bend radius and prevent stress on connectors. Follow device vendor guidance for any necessary firmware or compatibility settings.

Recommendations

Store and handle the AOC carefully to avoid contaminating connector endfaces; use protective caps when connectors are not in use. Maintain a recommended minimum bend radius, avoid tight cable ties near the connector, and perform standard link verification after installation. For optimum reliability in high-density installations, plan cable routing and labeling to minimise strain and facilitate future maintenance.
