Arista/Mellanox Compatible QS28AO2-ARMN-1M 100G AOC

Keep short-reach 100 GbE links clean, predictable, and easy to route with this QSFP28 active optical cable assembly. Designed for Arista and Mellanox compatible environments, it provides a 1 m connection path that fits neatly between adjacent switches, servers, and network appliances. At 100GBASE-AOC, this cable is built for dense infrastructure where copper can add clutter and optical modules plus patch cords can add complexity. The integrated active optical design helps maintain signal quality while reducing cable bulk, which is especially useful in crowded front-of-rack and top-of-rack deployments. OM3 multimode fiber support aligns with common enterprise fiber plant designs, and DOM gives operators a way to monitor optical conditions during deployment and troubleshooting. For teams standardizing on 100 GbE, this assembly offers a practical balance of reach, density, and operational clarity. TAA compliance also makes it suitable for environments with procurement controls tied to government or regulated contracts. When the goal is a short, dependable 100G interconnect with fewer moving parts, this cable is built for the job.
