Frequently Asked Questions
What is 100GBASE-AOC and why choose an active optical cable?
100GBASE-AOC is a high-speed optical interconnect standard supporting 100 Gbps data rates. Active optical cables integrate signal conditioning electronics, enabling longer distances and better signal integrity compared to passive copper alternatives. They're ideal for data center environments where bandwidth and reliability are critical.
Is this QSFP28 cable compatible with my network equipment?
The ENET 100GBASE-AOC QSFP28 cable is IXIA-compatible and works with any equipment featuring standard QSFP28 ports supporting 100GBASE-AOC. Verify your switch, NIC, or test equipment supports this standard before deployment.
What does Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) provide?
DOM enables real-time monitoring of optical signal strength, temperature, and cable health metrics. This allows network administrators to detect performance degradation early and troubleshoot connectivity issues proactively, reducing downtime in mission-critical environments.
Can I use this 4M active optical cable for longer distances?
The 4-meter length is optimized for rack-to-rack and short-reach data center connectivity. For longer distances, consider ENET's extended-length 100GBASE-AOC options or fiber-based solutions. Always verify distance requirements match cable specifications for optimal performance.
