Lenovo 4X97A11036 15 m QSFP28 Active Optical Cable | Enterprise Fiber

Keep dense infrastructure connected across longer rack spans with this 15 m active optical QSFP28 cable from Lenovo DCG server options. Built for Intel OPA 100 Series environments, it delivers optical transport in a form factor suited to high-bandwidth server fabrics where signal integrity and reach are critical. Active optical cabling is the right choice when passive copper no longer provides the distance or performance margin required in modern data center layouts. This cable helps maintain stable links between switches, servers, and adjacent rows while reducing the power and thermal burden associated with heavier interconnect options. For procurement teams and infrastructure architects, the value is in precision: a purpose-built 15 m cable that fits enterprise deployment patterns without overbuying length or compromising on link quality. It is a practical choice for tightly managed environments where every interconnect must support uptime, airflow, and clean cable routing. Use it where longer QSFP28 runs are needed and where optical transport is preferred for consistent performance across the rack fabric.
