Why Choose This Product?

• 15 m connectivity reach: Provides longer QSFP28-to-QSFP28 reach for data-center layouts where shorter AOCs may not provide sufficient routing distance.
• 100GbE networking: Designed for supported 100GbE environments requiring high-bandwidth connectivity between compatible QSFP28 interfaces.
• Simplified installation: Integrated active optical construction provides a pre-terminated cable assembly, reducing separate component selection during deployment.
• HPE OEM identification: The 845414-B21 part number supports straightforward procurement, compatibility verification, inventory management, and replacement planning.
• Flexible data-center deployment: The 15 m length helps connect equipment across racks or within larger rack configurations without immediately requiring a separate transceiver-and-fiber combination.
• QSFP28-to-QSFP28 architecture: Uses matching QSFP28 interfaces for direct connectivity between compatible equipment.
• HPE-supported solution: HPE documentation identifies 845414-B21 as a 100GbE cable and includes it within the HPE QSFP28 cabling family.
• Practical alternative to shorter AOCs: Provides a 15 m option compared with HPE’s shorter 7 m 845410-B21 AOC, helping buyers select cable length according to physical deployment requirements.
