Lenovo 4X97A94016 10 m 100G QSFP28 Active Optical Cable | QSFP28

Keep 100G connections tight, clean, and predictable with this 10 m QSFP28 active optical cable. Designed for short-reach high-speed interconnects, it gives infrastructure teams a practical way to link adjacent racks or nearby network equipment without the bulk and distance limits of passive cabling. Active optical cabling is often the right choice when you need more reach than copper can comfortably provide, but do not want to overbuild with longer optical transceivers and patching. At 10 m, this cable supports orderly rack layouts and reduces congestion at the front and rear of the cabinet. The QSFP28 interface aligns with modern 100G environments, making it a fit for dense switching, aggregation, and storage fabrics. For enterprise deployments, the value is in consistency: a purpose-built cable for high-speed transport, cleaner airflow than thicker alternatives, and a deployment profile that suits data center standards. When the cost of a bad link is measured in operational disruption, a cable like this earns its place.
