Prolabs Active Optical Cable 100 Gbps QSFP28
The Prolabs model PRL-100G-AOC-073 is a 73-meter active optical cable (AOC) rated for 100 Gbps maximum data rate, terminated with QSFP28 connectors on both ends and operating at 850 nm wavelength over multimode fiber. AOC technology provides the reach and flexibility of optical fiber with the plug-and-play simplicity of a direct attach cable, making it well-suited for long-reach interconnects within data center rows and between adjacent pods.
Key Features
- 100 Gbps maximum data rate for 100GbE and 4x25G applications
- QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectors for direct switch and server port compatibility
- 850 nm multimode optical interface for standard OM3/OM4 infrastructure compatibility
- 73-meter length extends reach beyond direct attach copper cable limits
- Active optical cable (AOC) eliminates copper weight and bend radius constraints
- Plug-and-play installation with no additional transceivers required
