The QSFP28-100G-AOC-xM 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 AOC Cable is a Four-Channel, Pluggable, Parallel, fiber-epic QSFP+ AOC for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and Infiniband EDR Applications.
QSFP28-100G-AOC-xM 100G AOC Cable is a high-performance module for short-range multi-lane data communication and interconnect applications.
It integrates four data lanes in each direction with 100 Gbps bandwidth.
Each lane can operate at 25.78125Gbps up to 70 m using OM3 fiber or 100 m using OM4 fiber.
By offering a cost-efficient alternative to discrete optical transceivers and patch cables, these AOCs are ideal for establishing 100Gbps connections within racks and adjacent racks.
