Cabo ótico ativo AOC CBO QSFP-100G-AOC-20M QSFP28, 20 m de comprimento

The AOC CBO QSFP-100G-AOC-20M active optical cable is a 20 metre QSFP28 optical link engineered for 100G data transmission between QSFP28 ports. Designed for use in high-speed networks and data centre environments, this AOC provides optical connectivity with electrical isolation and lower weight compared with equivalent direct attach copper solutions. The cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links between switches, servers and optical transceivers over a 20 m reach.

Advantages

This active optical cable reduces cable bulk and weight while maintaining 100 gigabit per second data throughput. Optical transmission removes common-mode electrical interference and provides galvanic isolation between connected devices. The QSFP28 connector form factor ensures compatibility with standard QSFP28 ports and supports low latency suitable for demanding network applications. The 20 metre length offers extended connectivity across racks or between adjacent aisles without the need for additional transceivers and fibre patching.

Suitable for

• Data centre switch-to-switch interconnects
• Server-to-switch high-speed links
• High-density rack deployments requiring 20 m reach
• Low-latency network segments and cluster interconnects

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
• Data rate: 100 Gbit/s aggregate
• Length: 20 metres
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Transmission: optical with electrical isolation
• Typical use: short-reach data centre links

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into matching QSFP28 ports on networking equipment, ensuring proper orientation and secure latching. Verify that connected devices support active optical cables and 100G link speeds. After connection, confirm link status and speed through network management interfaces or device LEDs. When disconnecting, release the connector latch before removing to avoid port damage. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for 20 m QSFP28 links inside data centres and short-reach network zones. Avoid exposure to liquids, excessive heat or sharp bends; store coiled gently and avoid tension on the cable assemblies. For compatibility, check that the host equipment supports QSFP28 AOC modules and 100G operation.
