Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100GBASE-AOC QSFP28 cable used for?
The 100GBASE-AOC QSFP28 cable is used for high-speed data center interconnects, connecting switches, servers, and storage systems in enterprise networking environments. It supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet transmission over active optical technology, ideal for virtualization, cloud computing, and HPC applications.
Is this cable compatible with my Arista or Mellanox equipment?
Yes, this ENET cable is fully compatible with Arista and Mellanox networking equipment. It serves as a reliable OEM alternative, providing the same performance and reliability as manufacturer-branded cables at a competitive price point.
What are the advantages of active optical cables over passive copper cables?
Active optical cables offer superior performance over longer distances with lower latency, reduced power consumption, and better signal integrity. They generate minimal heat and are ideal for dense data center environments where space and cooling are critical considerations.
Can I use this 3-meter cable for longer-distance connections?
This cable is optimized for 3-meter distances. For longer-distance requirements, consider ENET's extended-length 100GBASE-AOC options or fiber optic solutions designed for greater distances.
