Frequently Asked Questions
What is an active optical cable and why choose it over copper?
An active optical cable (AOC) uses fiber optic technology with integrated electronics to transmit data at high speeds over longer distances. Unlike copper cables, AOC technology eliminates signal degradation, reduces power consumption, and minimizes electromagnetic interference—making it ideal for 100G networks in data centers and enterprise environments.
Is the ENET ENQS28AO2-7M compatible with my network equipment?
Yes. This QSFP28 active optical cable is MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) compliant, ensuring compatibility with QSFP28 ports on switches, routers, and network adapters from major OEM manufacturers. Always verify your equipment supports 100GBASE-AOC connectivity before deployment.
How does a 7-meter active optical cable improve network performance?
The 7-meter length allows extended reach between network devices without the signal loss typical of longer copper runs. The 100G QSFP28 cable maintains consistent performance across the full distance, enabling flexible data center layouts while preserving ultra-high-speed connectivity and reducing latency.
What are the power and cooling benefits of using AOC technology?
Active optical cables consume significantly less power than equivalent copper solutions, reducing overall data center energy costs. Lower power draw also generates less heat, decreasing cooling requirements and improving the thermal efficiency of your network infrastructure.
