100G QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC)
Brand: Multi-Vendor/MSA Compliant (Examples: Cisco compatible, Intel compatible) · SKU: QSFP-100G-AOC · MPN: QSFP-100G-AOC · Category: Networking
A high data rate parallel active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 form factor connectors, designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and high-performance computing networks. It converts parallel electrical signals into parallel optical signals using VCSEL technology over multimode fiber (MMF). It features 4 independent full-duplex channels, each supporting up to 25Gbps for an aggregate bandwidth of 100Gbps. It is a hot-pluggable, lightweight, and low-power alternative to Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables for short-reach, intra-rack, or rack-to-rack connections. Available in various lengths (e.g., 3m, 5m, up to 100m).
