Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QSFP28 active optical cable used for?
A QSFP28 active optical cable is used for 100G data center connectivity, providing high-speed links between switches, servers, and storage systems. The integrated transceiver design eliminates the need for separate modules, reducing complexity and improving reliability in demanding networking environments.
Is the ENET QSFP28 cable compatible with Mellanox equipment?
Yes, the ENET QS28AO2-MNMN is Mellanox compatible, ensuring seamless integration with Mellanox switches and networking infrastructure. This OEM-compatible design allows for vendor-neutral deployment while maintaining full performance specifications.
What are the advantages of OM3 multimode fiber for 100G connectivity?
OM3 multimode fiber provides cost-effective short-reach 100Gb/s transmission with lower latency and simplified installation compared to single-mode alternatives. The ENET active optical cable leverages OM3 fiber to deliver reliable performance for data center applications up to 100 meters.
How does an active optical cable differ from passive cables?
An active optical cable integrates transceivers directly into the assembly, providing signal conditioning and amplification for longer distances and higher reliability. Unlike passive cables, AOCs like the ENET QSFP28 require no external modules, simplifying deployment and reducing points of failure.
