Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100GBASE-AOC QSFP28 cable used for?
A 100GBASE-AOC QSFP28 cable connects high-speed network equipment in data centers, enabling 100 Gigabit Ethernet transmission between switches, servers, and storage systems. The active optical design supports longer distances than passive copper cables while maintaining signal integrity.
What does DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) provide?
DOM functionality enables real-time monitoring of optical signal strength, temperature, bias current, and transmit/receive power levels. This allows network administrators to proactively identify performance issues and optimize network health without manual testing.
Is the ENET 100GBASE-AOC compatible with standard QSFP28 ports?
Yes, the QSFP28 connectors are industry-standard and compatible with any QSFP28-equipped network interface. The 1 meter length and OM3 MMF specification ensure reliable performance across standard enterprise networking infrastructure.
Why choose active optical cable over passive copper alternatives?
Active optical cables deliver superior performance for 100GbE applications by reducing signal attenuation, supporting longer distances, consuming less power, and generating minimal heat—critical advantages in dense data center environments.
