Overview
The Prolabs PRL-100G-AOC-035 is a 100G Base active optical cable (AOC) with QSFP28 form factor connectors on both ends, designed for short- to medium-reach 100G Ethernet and InfiniBand HDR100 data center interconnects. Operating at 850nm wavelength over a 35 m fiber span, this AOC delivers the bandwidth density and signal integrity needed in spine-leaf, top-of-rack, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments while eliminating the cost and power overhead of discrete transceivers and patch cables.
Features
- 100G Base data rate for high-bandwidth data center applications
- QSFP28 connectors on both ends — industry-standard form factor
- 850nm wavelength
- 35 m reach for in-rack and cross-row data center runs
- Active optical construction for superior signal integrity vs. DAC at this distance
- Low power consumption vs. discrete optical transceivers
