Description
The AddOn QSFP-OTU4-AOC3M-AO is a MSA and TAA compliant 100GBase-OTU4 QSFP28 to QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for high-speed, high-density data center interconnects. Operating over multi-mode fiber (MMF) at a wavelength of 850nm with a maximum reach of 3 meters, this AOC delivers reliable 100G Ethernet and OTU4 performance across networking, server, and storage environments.
Engineered with low power consumption (<2.5W) and VCSEL/PIN photonic devices, this cable supports up to 4x28 Gbps bi-directional operation while maintaining excellent signal integrity. It includes an I²C standard management interface, automatic power-down for eye safety, and is RoHS compliant and lead-free.
Each unit is individually programmed, serialized, and fully application-tested to guarantee 100% functionality and interoperability. AddOn backs its products with a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and performance for mission-critical networks.
