Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is a Lenovo 10M 100Gb QSFP28 AOC? A: It is a 10-meter active optical cable that provides 100 Gbps connectivity using QSFP28 connectors on both ends, designed for data centers and enterprise networks.
  • Q: Why choose an AOC over traditional DAC or transceivers? A: AOCs integrate optical-electrical components into the cable assembly, offering longer reach, reduced signal loss, and fewer components to manage, which simplifies deployment and reduces total cost of ownership in appropriate environments.
  • Q: What devices are compatible with this AOC? A: Compatible with devices supporting QSFP28 interfaces and 100GBASE-SR4-style connectivity; commonly used with Lenovo ThinkSystem servers, switches, and other enterprise-grade networking equipment.
  • Q: Is the 10-meter length suitable for typical data-center layouts? A: Yes. At 10 meters, it provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or device-to-device connections without excess slack, while preserving signal integrity.
  • Q: Does this cable require any transceivers? A: No. As an AOC, it integrates the active optics within the cable assembly, removing the need for separate transceivers in compatible networks.
  • Q: What about warranty and support? A: Lenovo generally offers a standard limited warranty and product support for enterprise deployments; check the exact terms with your Lenovo vendor or reseller for your region.
  • Q: Can I use this AOC outdoors or in harsh environments? A: The operating temperature specification is 0–70°C for controlled data-center environments; outdoor or extreme-condition deployments require environmental ratings beyond the standard AOC specification.
