Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100GbE QSFP28 active optical cable used for?
A 100GbE QSFP28 active optical cable connects high-speed storage arrays, switches, and servers in data centers. It provides 100 Gbit/s connectivity over fiber optic technology, ideal for demanding storage networking and low-latency applications requiring extended cable runs.
Why choose active optical cable technology over copper alternatives?
Active optical cables offer superior EMI immunity, lower latency, and better signal integrity over longer distances compared to copper DACs. The HPE 100GbE QSFP28 AOC is particularly suited for environments with electromagnetic interference or where extended temperature stability is critical.
How does extended temperature capability benefit data center operations?
Extended temperature operation ensures the QSFP28 active optical cable maintains consistent 100GbE performance in high-density server environments and challenging thermal conditions, reducing downtime risk and supporting reliable storage infrastructure.
Is this cable compatible with non-HPE equipment?
This cable features standard QSFP28 connectors and 100GbE signaling, making it compatible with most 100GbE-capable devices from various manufacturers. However, HPE certification ensures optimal performance with HPE storage and networking systems.
