HPE Aruba QSFP-100G-AO Compatible 100G QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ Active Optical Cable

Use this AOC cable where a 100G link is required between compatible QSFP28 to QSFP28 ports. This HT version corresponds to HPE Aruba QSFP-100G-AO and covers 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft) and 30m (98ft); electrical or optical construction follows the AOC specification rather than a detachable transceiver-and-patch-cord arrangement.

• QSFP-100G-AO005

AOC assemblies integrate the optical engines and fiber into a single factory-terminated link. They are useful for longer or lighter high-speed connections than copper direct attach, with no fiber polarity or connector cleaning required between separate patch cords and modules.

The QSFP28 to QSFP28 interface and 100G data rate must match the equipment at both ends. The source application is listed as 100G Ethernet. For breakout versions, confirm the lane mapping and the speed of every downstream port; matching connector shapes alone does not establish interoperability.

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes the QSFP-100G-AO series. Before shipment, we check connector identification, link establishment and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Host hardware and firmware revisions can affect third-party cable acceptance, so customers can provide the switch, server or accelerator model and software release for a pre-order compatibility review.

When ordering, specify QSFP-100G-AO, the host platform and one of the covered configurations: 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft) and 30m (98ft). If your purchase documentation uses any of the listed OEM part numbers, include that identifier as well so our team can verify the intended version before production.

Every AOC assembly undergoes continuity and link testing, compatibility verification and a visual inspection of both connector ends. Cables are coiled without exceeding their minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in anti-static bags or protective trays before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
