Cabo ótico ativo CBO AOC-QSFP-100G-10M-BO 10m QSFP28 macho 100 Gbit/s

Active optical cable AOC CBO AOC-QSFP-100G-10M-BO is a 10 m QSFP28 male link designed to deliver 100 Gbit/s data throughput for short- to mid-reach interconnects. The cable uses QSFP28 connectors and optical transmission to reduce electrical constraints and heat generation compared with direct-attach copper at equivalent speeds. It is intended for deployment between QSFP28 ports on switches, servers or network adapters in data centers and high-throughput network environments that require a 10-meter optical direct attach solution.

Advantages

The active optical construction provides high bandwidth with lower power dissipation and reduced signal degradation over the 10 m distance. Optical transmission simplifies link design by removing some PCB and signal-integrity constraints found with copper. The QSFP28 male connectors ensure compatibility with standard QSFP28 interfaces and allow straightforward insertion into ports on compatible network equipment. The 100 Gbit/s aggregate rate supports modern high-density switching and server interconnect requirements.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between QSFP28 ports on switches and routers
• Server-to-switch links in data center topologies
• High-throughput storage and compute clusters
• Short- to mid-reach optical direct attach deployments requiring 10 m cable length

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP28 male to QSFP28 male
• Data rate: 100 Gbit/s aggregate
• Cable length: 10 metres
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Application: short- to mid-reach data center interconnects

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network devices until the retention latch engages. Ensure ports are powered and configured to support 100 Gbit/s links; verify link status through device management interfaces. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the optical cable; maintain minimum bend radii specified by the manufacturer when routing. For removal, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid sideways stress on the module.

Recommendations

Use in rack and cabinet environments with controlled airflow and cable routing to maintain performance. Validate compatibility with your switch or adapter firmware and port settings before large-scale deployment, and keep the connectors capped when not in use to protect optical interfaces.
