Frequently Asked Questions
What is 100GBASE-AOC and how does it differ from electrical cables?
100GBASE-AOC (Active Optical Cable) uses fiber optics to transmit data at 100 Gigabits per second, offering superior performance over longer distances compared to electrical alternatives. Active optical cables consume less power and generate less heat, making them ideal for dense data center environments where thermal management is critical.
Is this QSFP28 cable compatible with my network equipment?
Yes, the ENET QSFP28 AOC cable is compatible with any network switch, server, or storage device featuring QSFP28 ports supporting 100GBASE-AOC connectivity. Check your equipment's specifications to confirm 100G AOC support before purchasing.
What is OM3 multimode fiber and why does it matter?
OM3 multimode fiber is a standardized fiber optic medium optimized for high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances (up to 300 meters at 100G). It provides excellent signal quality, reduced latency, and cost-effective performance for data center interconnects and enterprise networks.
Can I use this 3-meter cable for longer distances?
The 3-meter length is optimized for rack-to-rack and short-reach deployments within data centers. For longer distances, consider ENET's extended-length 100GBASE-AOC options or consult with your network architect to ensure performance specifications are met.
