Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100GBASE-AOC and why do I need it?
A 100GBASE-AOC (100Gbps Active Optical Cable) is a high-speed interconnect solution that transmits data at 100 gigabits per second. You need it for data center environments requiring ultra-fast, reliable connectivity between switches, servers, and storage systems without signal loss over distance.
Is this QSFP28 cable compatible with my existing network equipment?
Yes. This QSFP28 active optical cable is Ixia-compatible and OEM-compatible, making it suitable for integration with most modern data center networking platforms. Always verify your equipment supports QSFP28 connectors and 100GBASE standards before deployment.
How does OM3 multimode fiber compare to other fiber types?
OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications up to 100 meters at 100Gbps, offering excellent performance for mid-range data center deployments. It's more cost-effective than single-mode fiber while delivering the speed and reliability required for modern infrastructure.
What are the advantages of active optical cables over passive alternatives?
Active optical cables use integrated electronics to amplify and regenerate signals, eliminating distance limitations and signal degradation. This 5-meter AOC ensures consistent 100Gbps performance without the latency or reliability issues associated with passive copper alternatives.
