BlueOptics FlexFabric QSFP28-SFP28-10M Compatible Active Optical Cable AOC 10m

The BlueOptics FlexFabric QSFP28-SFP28-10M is a high-performance Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for data centers and enterprise networks. It provides a reliable 100 Gbps aggregate link over 10 meters, breaking out from a single QSFP28 connector to four SFP28 connectors. This cable is compatible with HPE FlexFabric, Mellanox, Cisco, Juniper, and other QSFP28/SFP28 compliant equipment.

Advantages

This AOC cable offers significant advantages over traditional copper cabling, including longer reach, lighter weight, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The breakout design allows for efficient connectivity from a 100 Gbps port to four 25 Gbps ports, optimizing network flexibility and cost. With low power consumption under 2.5 W and hot-pluggable connectors, it simplifies installation and reduces energy costs.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Enterprise network top-of-rack switching
• Storage area networks (SAN)
