Know before you buy
Yes, this cable is specifically pre-programmed and serialized to ensure full compatibility with Brocade QSFP28-100G-AOC-10M hardware requirements.
The plenum (CMP) rating indicates that the cable jacket is fire-retardant and produces minimal smoke, making it safe for use in air-handling spaces like drop ceilings or raised floors.
No, this is an Active Optical Cable (AOC), meaning the optics are integrated directly into the connector ends. It is a plug-and-play solution that does not require separate transceivers.
Yes, the cable features multirate support, allowing it to handle data rates up to 28 Gb/s per channel, making it versatile for various network configurations.
This cable includes built-in digital diagnostic functions, which allow you to monitor real-time performance metrics directly through your Brocade networking equipment.
Yes, the cable utilizes a round, stranded conductor design, which provides better flexibility and easier cable management compared to rigid, thick-gauge cabling.
