The Extreme Networks 100G-AOC-QSFP10M-TA is a 10-meter active optical cable that delivers high-speed 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over a lightweight, flexible optical fiber medium. This AOC module uses QSFP28 interfaces on both ends and is optimized for high-bandwidth applications like server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links in large-scale data centers and HPC environments. Compared to copper cables, this active optical cable offers better reach, improved airflow, and significantly lower electromagnetic interference. Its plug-and-play nature simplifies installation while ensuring reliable, low-latency communication over 10 meters.
Supporting up to 100Gbps data rates using 4x25G NRZ lanes, it is compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards and offers excellent signal integrity with low bit error rates. The durable, compact QSFP28 form factor enables high port density and efficient cabling in dense networking setups. Perfect for modern hyperscale and enterprise networks, this AOC helps reduce power consumption, enhances cooling efficiency, and supports seamless high-speed data flow in mission-critical environments.
