Move 100G connectivity farther without the bulk and reach limits of copper. The 100GBASE-AOC QSFP28 active optical cable from Axiom Memory is designed for high-speed links where you need a cleaner path between switches, servers, or aggregation points across the rack row. Active optical cable architecture combines the simplicity of an integrated cable assembly with the reach advantages of fiber-based transmission. That makes it a practical choice for data center teams that want to reduce cable congestion while keeping deployment straightforward. Compared with DAC, AOC is better suited to longer short-range runs and tighter thermal or routing constraints. For infrastructure built around QSFP28 ports, this cable supports a direct, purpose-built 100G connection without requiring separate optical modules and patch cords. It is a sensible option for teams standardizing on high-density Ethernet fabrics and looking for a cleaner physical layer in crowded cabinets and interconnect zones.
