Frequently Asked Questions
What is an active optical cable and how does it differ from passive cables?
An active optical cable (AOC) contains integrated electronics that amplify and regenerate optical signals, enabling longer transmission distances (up to 30 meters) without signal loss. Unlike passive direct-attach cables, AOCs maintain signal integrity over extended runs, making them ideal for large data center deployments requiring reliable 100Gbps connectivity.
Is this 100GBASE-AOC cable compatible with my HP or ARUBA network switch?
Yes. This ENET cable is certified for HP ProCurve and ARUBA switching platforms and features standard QSFP28 connectors. Verify your switch supports 100GBASE-AOC modules before installation. The DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) feature provides real-time diagnostics to confirm proper operation.
Can I use this 30-meter AOC cable for server-to-switch connections?
Absolutely. The 30-meter QSFP28 active optical cable is designed for flexible data center topology, supporting server-to-switch, switch-to-switch, and storage interconnects. The extended reach eliminates the need for intermediate equipment and reduces installation complexity in large facilities.
What monitoring capabilities does the DOM feature provide?
Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) enables real-time tracking of optical power levels, temperature, and cable health. This proactive monitoring helps identify potential issues before they impact network performance, reducing downtime and supporting predictive maintenance strategies.
