Frequently Asked Questions
What is an active optical cable and why should I use one?
An active optical cable (AOC) uses fiber optic technology with integrated electronics to transmit data at extremely high speeds over longer distances than traditional copper cables. The Axiom 100GBASE-AOC eliminates signal loss, reduces power consumption, and provides superior performance for demanding data center environments where 100 Gbit/s connectivity is essential.
Is this 100GBASE-AOC cable compatible with my HP network equipment?
Yes. The Axiom JL276A-AX is 100% HP compatible and works seamlessly with HP networking switches, routers, and infrastructure. It's designed as a direct replacement for HP's own 100GBASE-AOC cables, ensuring plug-and-play installation without driver or firmware updates.
How long can I run a 100GBASE-AOC QSFP28 cable?
This Axiom cable is rated for 7 meters (22.97 feet), which is ideal for intra-rack and adjacent-rack connectivity in data centers. Active optical technology allows this length without signal degradation, making it perfect for high-density server environments where distance and speed both matter.
What are the advantages of QSFP28 connectors?
QSFP28 connectors support quad small form-factor pluggable technology, enabling four independent 25 Gbit/s channels to combine into 100 Gbit/s throughput. This compact design maximizes port density on switches while maintaining the reliability and performance needed for mission-critical network infrastructure.
