Product Overview
The Avid NEXIS Active Optical Cable (AOC) Splitter — 100GbE to 2x50GbE, 10M is a high-speed active optical splitter cable designed for use with Avid NEXIS F5 and F5 NL storage engines. This 10-meter cable splits a single 100GbE QSFP28 port into two 50GbE connections, enabling dual-port 50GbE connectivity from a single F5 chassis QSFP28 port for deployment flexibility in high-bandwidth NEXIS environments.
Product Description
The NEXIS F5 and F5 NL platforms use QSFP28 100GbE ports for maximum storage fabric throughput. This AOC splitter cable enables organizations to connect two 50GbE-capable switches or devices from a single F5 QSFP28 port, optimizing port utilization and network topology in large NEXIS deployments. The 10M active optical cable provides reliable high-speed signaling over longer distances than passive copper cables.
Key Features
- 100GbE to 2x50GbE Split — Single QSFP28 port provides two independent 50GbE connections.
- Active Optical Cable (AOC) — High-speed, low-latency signaling over 10 meters.
- NEXIS F5 and F5 NL Compatible — Designed for NEXIS QSFP28 storage fabric connectivity.
