HPe 818138-001 Synergy Interconnect Cxp to Cxp 3M AOC Cable The HPE 818138-001 Synergy Interconnect CXP to CXP 3M AOC Cable is an active optical cable (AOC) designed for use with HPE Synergy interconnect modules. Here's a breakdown of its key features and details: Key Features: Part Number: 818138-001 (also associated with Option Kit Number 804101-B21 and Renew Option Kit Number 804101R-B21). Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC). This means it uses optical fiber for data transmission with active electronic components embedded in the connectors to boost the signal. This allows for longer distances and better signal integrity compared to direct attach copper (DAC) cables. Connectors: CXP to CXP. CXP is a high-density, high-speed connector often used for parallel optical links. Length: 3 meters (approximately 9.84 feet). Application: Specifically designed as an Interconnect Link cable for HPE Synergy composable infrastructure. It connects primary and satellite interconnect modules within and between Synergy frames. Data Rate: While the exact maximum data rate isn't explicitly stated in all search results, HPE Synergy interconnect links generally support high bandwidth, often associated with 100Gbps or higher aggregate speeds. Some sources mention 300Gb interconnect links for Synergy. Warranty: 60day
