Cable óptico activo CBO QSFP-100G-AOC-10M 10 m — QSFP+ a QSFP+, 100G, 10 metros

The CBO QSFP-100G-AOC-10M is a 10-meter active optical cable with QSFP+ connectors designed to establish 100 Gbps links between compatible network devices. Intended for short- to medium-reach interconnects in data centers and high-performance networking environments, this AOC provides a single-cable solution that integrates optical transceivers and fiber into a pre-terminated assembly for simplified deployment and predictable performance.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable offers high-bandwidth 100 Gbps connectivity with low latency and consistent signal integrity over a 10 m span. As an integrated cable assembly, it reduces the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, lowers electromagnetic interference risk compared with copper alternatives, and simplifies cable management in dense rack environments. The QSFP+ form-factor ensures compatibility with devices that support QSFP interfaces and enables hot-pluggable installation for minimal downtime.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and spine-to-leaf interconnects in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters requiring 100 Gbps links
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections over short to medium distances
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and compact cabling are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Rated data rate: 100 Gbps
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 10 meters
• Typical reach: short- to medium-range interconnects within racks and across adjacent racks
• Latency: low propagation latency suitable for high-performance networking
• Electromagnetic characteristics: immune to EMI inherent to optical link
• Installation: hot-pluggable QSFP+ modules integrated in the cable

How to use

Install the CBO QSFP-100G-AOC-10M by inserting each QSFP+ connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are seated and that connected devices support 100 Gbps over QSFP+ interfaces. No separate transceivers or fiber patching is required; the AOC is a factory-terminated assembly. Verify link status on connected equipment and monitor optical diagnostics or system logs if available to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use proper strain relief and cable management in racks to prevent physical stress on QSFP+ connectors. Keep the connectors and port areas free of dust and debris; when disconnecting, handle the cable by the connector housing and avoid pulling on the fiber. Confirm compatibility with device firmware and port settings for 100 Gbps operation before deployment.
