AOC QSFP+ actieve optische kabel CBO QSFP-100G-AOC-10M 10 m

The AOC QSFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO QSFP-100G-AOC-10M 10 m is a factory-terminated fiber-based link designed for 100G QSFP+ connections. It provides a single, integrated cable assembly with QSFP connectors on both ends for direct attachment between compatible QSFP ports. The cable supports a 10 metre reach and is intended for low-latency, low-power transmission in data centre and enterprise networking environments where short-reach 100G connectivity is required.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers fiber-based signal integrity and electromagnetic immunity compared with copper alternatives while maintaining a compact QSFP+ form factor. Passive installation with QSFP connectors simplifies deployment without the need for separate transceivers. The 10 m reach provides flexibility for switch-to-switch, server uplink and aggregation link layouts while keeping power consumption and latency low.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 100G switch-to-switch interconnects in data centres
• Server uplinks and top-of-rack aggregation links
• High-density rack deployments requiring low-latency connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP+/QSFP+
• Nominal bandwidth: 100 Gbit/s
• Length: 10 metres
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Application: short-reach data centre and network links

How to use

Install the AOC by aligning and inserting the QSFP+ connectors into compatible QSFP ports on networking equipment until they engage. No separate transceivers or fibre terminations are required. Ensure port compatibility and link settings on switches or hosts before bringing the interface up. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, and confirm link status through device management interfaces.

Recommendations

Use this 10 m active optical cable for reliable short-reach 100G links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid bending below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, protect connector ends from contamination, and verify QSFP+ port compatibility with device documentation prior to deployment.
