10G-100G Cables |

Our compatible Extreme Networks DAC (PDAC/ADAC) cables are ideal for connecting equipment ports that are within 10 meters of each other, while AOC cables should be considered for longer distances. Extreme Networks Cables (Direct Attach Copper) are cost-effective high-speed copper cables that do not use optical lasers while AOC (Active Optical Cable), on the other hand, are high-speed optical cables with built-in optical transceivers for multi-mode optical fiber interconnections. AOC cables have several advantages, including being lighter, reaching longer distances (up to 100 meters compared to DAC’s 10 meters), having a smaller bending radius, and being more resistant to electromagnetic radiation (EMI). AOC cables are also easier to install and have less optical budget loss compared to traditional solutions with separate transceivers and patch cables. Moreover, AOC cables are safer as they have fewer potential failure points due to the absence of optical connectors. We’d love to hear from you – Contact Us!
Our compatible 100G Extreme Networks Cables section consists of QSFP28 Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cable assemblies in distances up to 5m and Active Optical Cable (AOC) assemblies in distances up to 20m. This section also includes a 100G PDAC breakout cable option, those cables provide an interconnection option of 100GbE QSFP28 to 4x25GbE SFP28.
The Extreme Networks 40G DAC cable portfolio includes 40G QSFP to QSFP direct-attach cable passive assemblies ranging in length from 0.5 to 5, QSFP to QSFP direct-attach cable active assembly ranging in length of 7m, QSFP to QSFP active optical cables length from 3m to 100m and breakout cable options up 10. Breakout cable connects 40GbE QSFP+ to 4x10GbE SFP+ interfaces and it perfect option for connecting network devices operating at different speeds. Cables are fully compliant with QSFP+ Multi-Source Agreement SFF-8436.The 40G cable itself has four independent 10Gbps lanes in each direction and supports data rates ranging from 2.125 to 41.2 Gbps for multi-rate communication and applications such as 40G Ethernet (41.25Gbps), 10G Ethernet (10.31Gbps), and Fiber channel speeds.
