Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100GBASE-AOC active optical cable used for?
A 100GBASE-AOC active optical cable is used for high-speed data center interconnects, providing 100 Gbps connectivity between switches, servers, and storage systems. The active optical technology enables longer distances than passive copper cables while maintaining signal integrity and reducing electromagnetic interference.
Is this QSFP28 cable compatible with my Edge-Core switch?
Yes, the ENET ET7402-AOC-10M-ENC is specifically designed for Edge-Core platform compatibility. Always verify your switch model supports 100GBASE-AOC interfaces before installation. Consult your Edge-Core documentation or contact ENET support for compatibility confirmation with your specific hardware revision.
How does a 10-meter active optical cable compare to shorter options?
The 10-meter length provides flexibility for intra-rack and inter-rack deployments without requiring additional infrastructure. Compared to shorter cables, the extended reach reduces the need for multiple connection points while maintaining full 100 Gbps performance and hot-pluggable convenience.
What are the advantages of active optical cables over copper alternatives?
Active optical cables eliminate EMI concerns, support longer distances without signal degradation, consume less power, and generate less heat than equivalent copper solutions. For 100 Gbps applications, 100GBASE-AOC technology offers superior performance density in modern data center environments.
