BlueOptics Active Optical Cable QSFP28 to QSFP28 10m Compatible Extreme Networks AA1404041-E6

The BlueOptics BO282703L10M is a high-performance Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand EDR applications. This 10-meter cable features QSFP28 connectors on both ends, providing a reliable and energy-efficient solution for data center interconnects and high-performance computing environments. It is fully compatible with Extreme Networks AA1404041-E6 equipment, ensuring seamless integration into existing networks.

Advantages

This AOC offers significant advantages over traditional copper cables, including longer reach, lower weight, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. With a data rate of 100 Gbps and low power consumption of less than 2.5W per end, it enables high-speed data transmission while reducing energy costs. The hot-pluggable design allows for easy installation and maintenance without disrupting network operations.
