Description

This 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 active optical cable is a fixed-length 2m link that carries 100 Gbps Ethernet between QSFP28 ports. The optical cable is permanently attached to a QSFP28 connector at each end, making it well suited to short-reach top-of-rack connections between compatible Aruba and HPE switches. The 2m length distinguishes it from the longer 7m, 15m and 30m cables in the same Aruba AOC range.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.
