BlueOptics IBM EB5W cabo ótico ativo (AOC) QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 30m

The BlueOptics IBM EB5W QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance, cost-effective solution for 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in data centers and high-performance computing environments. Designed for compatibility with IBM EB5W systems, this plug-and-play cable integrates QSFP28 transceivers at both ends, eliminating the need for separate optical modules and patch cables. With a length of 30 meters, it provides reliable, low-latency transmission over multimode fiber at 850 nm wavelength.

Advantages

This AOC offers significant advantages over traditional copper cabling, including longer reach, lighter weight, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. It consumes less than 3.5W typical power, reducing energy costs in dense deployments. The hot-swappable design ensures minimal downtime during maintenance or upgrades.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects (Top-of-Rack to End-of-Row)
