Frequently Asked Questions
AOC or DAC: which should I use?
An AOC is lighter, thinner and reaches much farther than a copper DAC, which suits runs between racks. For runs of a few meters in the same rack, a passive DAC costs less.
Can I replace the fiber or change the length?
No. The optics and fiber are one sealed assembly, so the length is fixed. For a custom run length, use two 100G SR4 optics with an MPO trunk cable.
Compatible cable or genuine Cisco: what is the difference?
This is a new third-party cable programmed (coded) to be recognized by Cisco equipment that calls for this part number, at a fraction of the Cisco-branded price. Choose the genuine Cisco part only if your support contract or internal policy requires Cisco-branded parts.
What warranty and shipping come with it?
Resilient Tec's lifetime warranty. US standard shipping is free with no minimum, and orders typically arrive in 3 to 5 days.
