Extreme Networks 900766-10-03 QSFP Active Optical Cable

The Extreme Networks 900766-10-03 serves as a dedicated Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) active optical cable designed to transmit data at speeds of 40 Gigabits per second across optical fibers up to 100 meters in length. Unlike passive copper alternatives, this specific model incorporates integrated transceiver electronics within the cable housing to condition optical signals dynamically during transmission, ensuring reliable connectivity between supported QSFP-enabled switches and server interfaces without external converter necessity. Users identifying this specific part number alongside the internal 10318 designation receive clear verification of the maximum rated distance capability, which remains essential for maintaining signal integrity over inter-rack distances within structured cabling environments. Deployment locations generally occur in controlled indoor facilities where ambient environmental conditions remain suitable for long-wave optical assemblies to consistently maintain transmission speed quality and operational stability throughout peak loads. Proper connector engagement utilizing standard latching mechanisms prevents accidental signal interruption during the active transmission cycle required for sustained operational continuity in large scale data communication networks.
