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

BlueOptics AOC QSFP-100G-AOC-20M is an Active Optical Cable (AOC) with QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectors and a 20 m length, engineered for 100G high-speed data transmission between network switches, routers and servers. The cable uses optical signaling to deliver high-bandwidth connectivity with reduced electromagnetic interference and lower latency compared with long copper links, making it suitable for modern data center and enterprise backbone environments that require stable 100G links over moderate distances.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable provides consistent 100G throughput while minimizing signal degradation over 20 meters. Its QSFP28 form-factor ensures compatibility with devices that support QSFP28 ports and 100 Gigabit Ethernet standards. The optical medium reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and heat-related performance loss, and the lightweight cable construction simplifies routing in dense rack and aisle environments. No separate transceivers are required, as the cable integrates optical transceivers with factory-matched interfaces for plug-and-play deployment.

Suitable for

• High-density data center switch-to-switch connections
• Server aggregation and spine/leaf fabric interconnects
• Core and distribution layer links in enterprise networks
• Low-latency, high-bandwidth connections for storage and compute clusters

How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into compatible QSFP28 ports on the devices to be connected, ensuring that port springs and latch mechanisms engage fully. Verify device compatibility with QSFP28 AOC cables and 100G configuration in network equipment settings if required. Avoid bending the cable beyond manufacturer-recommended bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. After physical connection, confirm link status and speed through the switch or server management interface and monitor for stable link indicators.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this 20 m AOC in indoor data center or equipment room environments where ambient conditions meet equipment specifications. Route the cable away from high-temperature sources and avoid tight bends. Confirm compatibility with your hardware vendor's QSFP28 port support and firmware recommendations, and perform link verification after installation to ensure correct 100G operation.
