AOC CBO QSFP-100G-AOC-10M 10 m cable óptico activo para interfaces 100G QSFP

BlueOptics AOC QSFP-100G-AOC-10M is a 10 meter active optical cable engineered for 100G QSFP interfaces. The pre-terminated QSFP connectors provide a plug-and-play fiber link for high-capacity connections between switches, servers and transceivers in data center environments and high-performance networks. The cable replaces multiple connectorized fiber runs and reduces latency and electromagnetic interference while offering a reliable, low-maintenance 100 Gigabit optical connection for short-reach links.

Advantages

The active optical construction delivers consistent 100G performance over the full 10 m length while keeping power consumption low compared with equivalent active electrical cables. Pre-terminated QSFP connectors eliminate field termination and simplify installation, reducing deployment time and potential human errors. The optical medium removes susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and provides stable signal integrity in dense rack and cable environments. The integrated design also reduces cable bulk and improves airflow around equipment.

Suitable for

• High-bandwidth connections between top-of-rack and core switches
• Server-to-switch links in data centers and cloud infrastructure
• Interconnects between optical transceivers and aggregation appliances
• Short-reach 100G links within racks or across adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Interface: QSFP for 100 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 10 meters
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Transmission rate: 100 Gbps aggregate
• Connector type: Pre-terminated QSFP plugs
• Immunity: Not susceptible to electromagnetic interference (optical transmission)
• Typical deployment: Short-reach data center interconnects

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding 100G QSFP port until the connector latches; ensure both ends are fully seated and the link LEDs on connected devices indicate an active connection. No additional transceivers or fiber patching is required because the cable is pre-terminated and active. For device firmware or network configuration, follow vendor instructions to enable the 100G interface and verify link speed and diagnostics through the network equipment management interface.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and stress at the connector boots; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and avoid sharp kinks. Install in rack pathways or cable management trays to preserve airflow and serviceability. Verify compatibility with your switch or server vendor QSFP port firmware and power budget before deployment to ensure reliable 100G operation.
