Description
The AddOn QSFP-OTU4-AOC5M-AO is a 100GBase-OTU4 QSFP28 to QSFP28 active optical cable designed for high-performance data center, enterprise, and telecom environments. Operating over multi-mode fiber (MMF) at a wavelength of 850nm, this 5-meter active optical cable delivers up to 100Gbps of reliable, bi-directional connectivity with excellent signal integrity and ultra-low power consumption (<2.5W). It supports 4x28 Gbps transmission, meets SFF-8636 QSFP28 AOC standards, and features automatic power-down for enhanced eye safety.
This cable is fully compliant with MSA and TAA standards, making it ideal for U.S. government procurement and other regulated deployments. Each unit is programmed, uniquely serialized, and rigorously application-tested to ensure 100% functionality. With robust VCSEL and PIN photonic components, I²C management, and a compact form factor, the QSFP-OTU4-AOC5M-AO is the perfect plug-and-play solution for high-bandwidth interconnects in modern network infrastructures.
