## Summary description

Active Optical Cable (AOC) INTEL QSFP28 QSFP28AOC5M, 5 meters. Designed for QSFP28 ports, this AOC provides a factory-terminated optical link suitable for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects. The fixed 5 m length and QSFP28 form factor simplify installation and reduce signal loss compared with copper at longer distances, enabling reliable 100GbE connectivity in data centers and networking racks.

## Long description

The INTEL AOC cable QSFP28AOC5M is a 5 metre active optical cable engineered for QSFP28 ports to deliver reliable 100GbE connectivity between servers, switches and storage systems. As a factory-terminated QSFP28 form-factor link, this AOC replaces longer copper interconnects and reduces signal loss over the specified 5 m span while keeping installation straightforward in data centre racks and network enclosures.
Advantages
This active optical cable provides predictable high-speed performance with lower electromagnetic interference compared with copper cables. The QSFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with QSFP28 ports and enables hot-pluggable installation. The fixed 5 m length removes the need for additional connectors or transceivers for short to medium rack-to-rack or within-rack connections. The optical medium reduces attenuation over distance and supports consistent 100GbE links suitable for demanding networking environments.
Suitable for
 100 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches
 Server-to-switch connections in data centre racks
 High-performance storage networking
 Short- to medium-distance interconnects where QSFP28 ports are available
Key specifications
 Form factor: QSFP28 (factory-terminated transceiver module ends)
 Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
 Supported data rate: up to 100GbE
 Length: 5 metres (fixed)
 Connector compatibility: QSFP28 ports (hot-pluggable)
 Signal medium: optical fibres with integrated active electronics
How to use
Insert each QSFP28 connector into matching QSFP28 ports on the network devices until they click into place. Ensure that the host devices support QSFP28 AOC connections and are powered off or follow hot-swap guidelines if installing live. Verify link status through the device management interface after installation to confirm 100GbE negotiation and proper lane alignment. Avoid tight bends in the cable and secure the cable within the rack to prevent mechanical strain on the connectors.
Usage recommendations
 Use the AOC for short- to medium-range connections within and between racks where QSFP28 ports are present. Store and route the cable without sharp bends, keep connectors clean and avoid exposing the cable to strong mechanical stress or temperatures outside the operating range of typical data centre equipment.
