## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) CBO PAN-QSFP28-AOC-5M, 5 meters long, designed for QSFP28 port-to-port connections at 100Gbps. Suitable for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks. Provides low latency and reduced power compared with copper for short-reach links up to 5 m.

## Long description

The AOC CBO PAN-QSFP28-AOC-5M is a 5-metre active optical cable engineered for direct QSFP28 to QSFP28 connections at 100Gbps. Designed for short-reach links in data centres and enterprise networks, this AOC offers an optical alternative to copper twinax cables, providing lower power consumption and reduced latency for server, switch and storage interconnects. The fixed-length 5 m design simplifies cabling management while supporting 100 Gigabit Ethernet and compatible high-speed protocols over a single QSFP28 port pair.
Advantages
The cable delivers high-bandwidth 100Gbps throughput with inherent optical isolation, reducing electromagnetic interference and improving signal integrity compared with copper solutions. As an active optical assembly, it consumes less power in short-reach scenarios and maintains low latency suitable for performance-sensitive environments. The plug-and-play QSFP28 form factor eliminates the need for separate transceivers and modular fibre patching for direct device-to-device links.
Suitable for
 100GbE links between switches and routers in data centre racks
 Server-to-switch uplinks and top-of-rack interconnects
 Storage area network connections and SAN fabrics
 High-performance computing clusters and low-latency applications
Key specifications
 Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
 Data rate: 100 Gbps aggregate
 Length: 5 metres (fixed)
 Medium: active optical cable (AOC)
 Typical use: short-reach interconnects up to 5 m
 Power profile: low power consumption for short-reach optical links
 Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive traffic
How to use
Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your networking devices until the latch engages. No separate transceivers or fibre patch cords are required. Ensure both devices support 100Gbps QSFP28 links and that firmware or driver compatibility is met according to vendor documentation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; the fixed 5 m length simplifies planning for rack-to-rack or in-rack connections.
Usage recommendations
Place the cable in a clean, ventilated environment and avoid tight bends near the connector modules. Verify link status and speed after installation and keep device firmware updated to ensure full compatibility. For best performance, use the AOC for links within the specified 5 m range and pair with QSFP28-capable equipment from the same performance class.
