Axiom QSFP-100G-AOC20M-AX 20 m QSFP28 AOC | 100G Ethernet, Enterprise — QSFP-100G-AOC20M-AX

Keep 100G links stable across longer rack-to-rack runs without adding separate transceivers. The Axiom QSFP-100G-AOC20M-AX active optical cable delivers a 20 m QSFP28 connection in a single integrated assembly, helping reduce component count and the failure points that come with modular optics and patch cabling. This is the right choice when copper DAC reaches its practical limit and a cleaner optical path is needed for short-reach 100G interconnects. Active optical construction supports lighter cable handling, better bend tolerance than copper alternatives, and a more orderly install in dense switch-to-server or switch-to-switch environments. For infrastructure teams, the value is in consistency: fewer parts to source, fewer optics to match, and a direct-attach form factor that fits standard QSFP28 ports. It is a practical fit for high-throughput environments where port density, airflow, and cable routing all matter. When the link budget is tight and uptime matters, this cable gives you a straightforward path to dependable 100G connectivity. Ideal For Connect top-of-rack switches to servers across adjacent racks Link switch-to-switch ports in dense data center rows Replace copper DAC where reach and cable management become limiting factors Support 100G interconnects in enterprise network closets and aggregation layers Why This Product 1 Longer reach than typical copper DAC options 2 Integrated optics reduce separate transceiver sourcing 3 Cleaner cable routing in dense racks 4 Direct QSFP28 connectivity for 100G links
