BlueOptics 740-073145 Compatible BlueOptics AOC QSFP28 BO282703L10M 10m Active Optical Cable 100Gbps

The BlueOptics 740-073145 compatible Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance, cost-effective solution for 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Designed for data centers and high-performance computing environments, this QSFP28 to QSFP28 cable delivers reliable, low-latency transmission over multi-mode fiber at 850 nm. With a length of 10 meters (32.8 ft), it is ideal for short-range interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks.

Advantages

This AOC offers significant advantages over traditional copper cabling, including lower weight, smaller bend radius, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. It consumes less than 2.5 W of power, making it energy-efficient. The hot-swappable design ensures easy installation and maintenance without network downtime. MSA and RoHS compliant, it guarantees interoperability and environmental safety.
