Description
The AddOn QSFP-OTU4-AOC30M-AO is a MSA and TAA compliant 100GBase active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-performance data center, networking, and telecommunication applications. This QSFP28 to QSFP28 OTU4 AOC operates over multi-mode fiber (MMF) with a maximum reach of 30 meters at an 850nm wavelength. It supports up to 4x28 Gbps bi-directional transmission for a combined bandwidth of 112Gbps, ensuring exceptional high-speed signal integrity and low power consumption below 2.5W.
Engineered with reliable VCSEL and PIN photonic devices, this cable features automatic power-down detection for enhanced eye safety and uses a standard I²C management interface. It is fully tested for data traffic and application performance, uniquely serialized, and backed by AddOn’s limited lifetime warranty — making it an ideal solution for 100G Ethernet, OTU4 networks, high-performance computing, and enterprise data storage environments.
