Lenovo 4X97A11034 5 m QSFP28 Active Optical Cable | Fiber Optic, Enterprise

Maintain fast, predictable interconnects between adjacent racks with Lenovo’s 5 m Intel OPA 100 Series active optical QSFP28 cable. This low-power optical assembly is designed for environments where bandwidth density, airflow, and cable management all affect uptime. Compared with bulkier copper options, active optical cabling helps reduce congestion in high-port-count systems while preserving the reach needed for short data-center runs. The 5 m length suits top-of-rack to adjacent-rack links, storage fabrics, and clustered compute environments where precise cable planning matters. QSFP28 connectivity supports modern high-speed infrastructure, while the active optical design helps keep signal quality consistent over the full run. For teams standardizing on Lenovo server options, this cable fits the kind of deployment where every connection must be clean, compact, and dependable. Choose this cable when you need a purpose-built interconnect for performance-sensitive paths and want to avoid the limitations of passive cabling at this distance. It is a practical fit for enterprise racks that demand orderly routing, reduced thermal clutter, and reliable high-speed transport between critical systems.
