100G Active Optical Cable (AOC) QSFP28 to QSFP28 OM3 Cable

SVNK 100G QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC)

The SVNK 100G QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance 4 × 25 Gb/s optical interconnect solution designed for 100G Ethernet (100GbE) and InfiniBand FDR/EDR applications. It integrates QSFP28 transceivers on both ends with high-quality OM3/OM4 multimode fiber, delivering a compact, factory-terminated, plug-and-play solution for short-reach, high-bandwidth connectivity.

Supporting an aggregate throughput of 100 Gb/s, the cable operates over four parallel optical channels in each direction, with each channel running at up to 25 Gb/s using NRZ signaling. This parallel-optics architecture ensures excellent signal integrity, low latency, and stable transmission in dense data-center and HPC environments.

The SVNK 100G QSFP28 AOC is fully compliant with the QSFP28 MSA, IEEE 802.3bm 100GBASE-SR4, and CAUI-4 specifications, ensuring seamless interoperability with leading switches, servers, and storage platforms. Compared to traditional DAC cables, the AOC design offers longer reach, lighter weight, smaller bend radius, and complete EMI immunity, making it an ideal alternative to copper interconnects and discrete optical modules.

With its slim profile, improved airflow characteristics, and simplified cable management, the SVNK 100G AOC is optimized for high-performance computing (HPC), cloud data centers, enterprise networks, and high-density storage fabrics.
