10434-AO – Extreme Networks Compatible 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 Active Optical Cable | 5M | TAA Compliant
The Addon 10434-AO is a high-performance, 100G Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for use with Extreme Networks equipment. This 5-meter QSFP28 to QSFP28 fiber optic cable delivers blazing-fast 100Gbps data transmission, offering a cost-effective, low-latency solution for short-distance, high-bandwidth connectivity between switches, routers, and network appliances. Fully TAA compliant and tested for compatibility, this plug-and-play cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber cables, reducing overall complexity while maintaining top-tier signal integrity and performance. Ideal for data centers, cloud environments, and enterprise networks that demand reliable, high-speed connections in dense infrastructure setups.
Features
The Addon 10434-AO delivers reliable 100G connectivity over a lightweight, energy-efficient fiber cable, optimized for environments where high bandwidth and low latency are essential. Built with QSFP28 connectors on both ends, the cable leverages four parallel lanes of 25Gbps each to achieve a combined throughput of 100Gbps—making it suitable for core aggregation, high-performance computing (HPC), and storage interconnects.
Advanced Options
Its active optical design supports extended reach over short to medium distances—up to 5 meters—far beyond what passive DACs can deliver. This cable is Extreme Networks compatible, ensuring seamless deployment without interoperability issues. The use of optical fiber reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and enhances thermal efficiency compared to copper alternatives. TAA compliance ensures it’s approved for government and federally regulated deployments. Whether connecting top-of-rack switches or extending switch-to-switch links in high-density server racks, the Addon 10434-AO delivers robust performance with plug-and-play simplicity.
