Features :
This Active Optical Cable is engineered with advanced technology to deliver superior performance for 100G applications. It operates at a wavelength of 850nm, which is optimized for high-speed, short-reach connections. The cable’s low-power consumption contributes to a more energy-efficient network, while its lightweight and flexible design simplifies installation and cable management. The QSFP28 form factor is hot-pluggable, allowing for modules to be added or replaced without needing to power down the equipment, minimizing network downtime.
Advanced Options :
The 100GBASE-AOC standard of this Active Optical Cable provides a powerful and scalable solution for extending your 100 Gigabit Ethernet network. Its ability to function with both Arista and Mellanox equipment provides unmatched flexibility and cost savings, allowing for a simplified, vendor-agnostic network infrastructure. Unlike copper alternatives, AOCs are not susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring a clean and stable signal transmission, which is crucial for maintaining data integrity in high-density rack environments.
