Aruba R0Z28A 100G QSFP28 Active Optical Cable, 15 m | Fiber Optic

Maintain high-speed connectivity where copper reaches its limits. Aruba R0Z28A is a 15 m 100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 active optical cable designed for short-to-mid distance links in modern data center fabrics. It gives infrastructure teams a clean path for connecting adjacent racks, top-of-rack switches, and high-bandwidth compute or storage nodes without adding the bulk, heat, or distance constraints of passive cabling. Active optical design helps preserve signal quality over the full cable length, which matters when every lane is carrying production traffic. The QSFP28 interface on both ends supports straightforward integration into Aruba environments and other compatible 100G platforms that accept QSFP28 optics. For teams standardizing on dense, high-port-count switching, this cable reduces cable management friction while supporting the throughput required for virtualization clusters, east-west traffic, and storage replication. Choose this cable when link reliability, clean routing, and 100G performance need to coexist in a tight footprint. It is a practical fit for enterprise networks that value predictable installation and consistent transport over short distances.
