BlueOptics QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) 20m Compatible Synology QSFP-100G-AOC-20M 100GBASE-SR4

The BlueOptics QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance, cost-effective solution for 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Designed as a compatible alternative to the Synology QSFP-100G-AOC-20M, this cable integrates QSFP28 transceivers on both ends with a 20-meter multi-mode fiber link, providing reliable, low-power data transmission for data centers, high-performance computing, and enterprise networks.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers significant advantages over traditional copper cabling, including longer reach (20 meters), lighter weight, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. It consumes less than 2.5W typical power, supporting energy-efficient operations. The hot-pluggable QSFP28 form factor ensures easy installation and maintenance without network downtime.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects (ToR to server, spine-leaf)
• High-performance computing clusters
