Cabo ótico ativo CBO Avago QSFP-100G-AOC-10M 10 m QSFP+ para QSFP+ 100G

Active Optical Cable CBO Avago QSFP-100G-AOC-10M is a 10-meter pre-terminated QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable designed to enable 100G optical links between compatible QSFP+ ports. The AOC offers low-latency optical connectivity for switches, routers and servers that support QSFP+ interfaces. It is intended for short-reach data centre interconnects and applications where a pre-terminated, plug-and-play multimode replacement reduces installation time and electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The cable delivers 100 Gigabit per second throughput with optical signal transmission that minimizes latency compared with copper alternatives. Being pre-terminated and hot-pluggable, it reduces installation complexity and eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. The design lowers electromagnetic interference and simplifies cable management in dense rack environments. The 10 m length provides greater routing flexibility for mid-rack and adjacent-rack connections.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links inside data centres
• High-performance computing clusters requiring 100G interconnects
• Short-reach multimode replacements where reduced latency and EMI are desired
• Environments that benefit from pre-terminated, plug-and-play cabling to speed deployment

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Rated data rate: 100 Gbps
• Length: 10 m
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical use: Short-reach data centre interconnects
• Latency: Low optical transmission latency compared with copper alternatives
• Installation: Pre-terminated, hot-pluggable

How to use

Install the QSFP-100G-AOC-10M by plugging each QSFP+ connector into matching QSFP+ ports on your networking equipment while the devices are powered according to vendor guidance. Confirm that the ports support 100G operation and that firmware or driver settings on switches and servers permit AOC links. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; secure with cable management fixtures as needed. After connection, verify link status and throughput through network management tools or device LEDs.

Recommendations

Handle the optical cable by the connector housings and avoid bending below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use this 10 m AOC for intra-rack or nearby rack connections where a clean, EMI-free optical link is preferred. Check compatibility lists of your switches, routers and servers to ensure QSFP+ port support and proper link negotiation.
