5-Metre 100 Gb QSFP28 Active Cable

This 5-metre active optical cable carries 100 Gb Ethernet traffic between two QSFP28 ports. It is built for data-centre racks and high-performance compute clusters that need reliable short-reach links. The integrated optics remove the need for separate transceivers and patch cords.

Suits 100 Gb QSFP28 links up to five metres.

The 16.40 ft length fits typical intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections. Buyers who need greater reach, passive copper assemblies, or different connector types should select another product.

QSFP28 active optical interface decides

Both ends use QSFP28 Network connectors with active circuitry, so the link equipment must support 100 Gb QSFP28 AOC operation. Verify port speed and form factor before purchase.
