AddOn QSFP-10G-AOC5M-AO 10GBASE-AOC 5 m

Maintain high-speed connectivity where copper starts to create heat, weight, and routing friction. This AddOn active optical cable is built for 10GBASE-AOC deployments that need a 5 m link between QSFP+ and SFP+ interfaces without adding the bend radius and congestion of traditional cabling. For dense racks, the value is in the physical layer. Active optics keep the run lightweight and easier to manage while preserving the signal integrity expected in short-distance 10 GbE interconnects. That makes it a practical choice for top-of-rack to adjacent-switch links, storage fabrics, and other latency-sensitive paths where clean cable management matters. TAA compliance supports government and regulated procurement workflows, while Cisco compatibility helps simplify integration in mixed-vendor environments. When the application calls for a purpose-built optical interconnect rather than a generic patch lead, this cable delivers the right balance of reach, density, and deployment confidence.
