## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) CBO QSFP-100G-AOC-5M is a 5-meter QSFP-to-QSFP interconnect designed for 100G links. Manufactured by CBO (MPN Q28-AOC-5M-IA-BO), it provides low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity for switches, routers and servers in data centers and high-performance networks. Useful for short-reach 100G connections where optical transceivers are preferred over copper.

## Long description

The AOC QSFP-100G-AOC-5M is a 5-metre active optical cable with QSFP connectors at both ends, engineered for 100G links in data centre and high-performance networking environments. This QSFP-to-QSFP AOC delivers optical transmission over a short reach while minimising latency and power consumption compared with equivalent copper assemblies. It is suitable for direct interconnect between switches, routers and servers where a compact, plug-and-play 100G solution is required.
Advantages
This active optical cable provides high-bandwidth 100G capacity with low signal attenuation and stable performance over its 5 m length. As an optical interconnect, it reduces electromagnetic interference and can offer lower thermal output than copper alternatives. The QSFP form-factor ensures compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP modules and supports simplified installation without separate transceivers or patch cables.
Suitable for
Short-reach 100G switch-to-switch connections in data centres
Server-to-switch uplinks requiring 100G throughput
High-performance computing clusters and aggregation layers
Environments where reduced EMI and lower power/heat are desired
Key specifications
Connector type: QSFP-to-QSFP optical connectors
Nominal data rate: 100 Gbit/s
Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
Length: 5 metres
Typical latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive links
Compatibility: QSFP ports supporting 100G optics
Application: short-reach links within racks or between adjacent racks
How to use
Install the cable by inserting each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on the devices to be linked. Ensure both devices support 100G QSFP optical connections and that ports are powered down or set to a safe state during insertion if recommended by the equipment vendor. After insertion, verify link status on both devices and confirm correct speed and lane configuration in the device management interface. No separate transceivers or fibre patching is required.
Usage recommendations
Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use this 5 m AOC for short-reach interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks; for longer distances, consider dedicated optical transceivers with single-mode or multimode fibre as appropriate. Check device compatibility and firmware support for QSFP 100G links before deployment.
