Deployment answer
MFA1A00-C030 is the 30 m ordering code listed for the retained MFA1A00 100GbE QSFP28 AOC series. At this length, deployment planning should begin with the complete pathway and replacement method, not only the distance between cabinets. Confirm endpoint support, tray capacity, pulling protection, bend control and the acceptance procedure before ordering.
What can be retained as evidence
| Area | Retained record | Deployment evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Ordering code | MFA1A00-C030 | Quote, package and cable label all show the same OPN |
| Nominal length | 30 m | Surveyed end-to-end route including vertical and service sections |
| Interface | 100GbE QSFP28 | Both endpoints, port mode, software and FEC are confirmed |
| Construction | VCSEL and multimode optical channels are described | Handling method protects the integrated AOC assembly |
| Series attributes | LSZH, hot-pluggable and SFF-8665 are stated | Current data sheet and site material rules are reviewed |
Where a 30 m fixed AOC may fit
- Potential fit: a surveyed row or room pathway where a continuous cable can be installed and replaced without field splicing.
- Requires a trial: crowded trays, mixed-vendor endpoints, long pulling sections, or a route shared with equipment changes.
- Not a good fit: structured cabling that requires patchable segments, an unmeasured path, or no practical way to replace the complete cable.
How 30 m changes the comparison
Compared with the 10 m C010, the C030 requires more attention to survey accuracy, tray occupancy, pulling tension, labeling and spare strategy. Separate transceivers with installed fiber may provide modular replacement on structured paths, while a fixed AOC reduces component count. The correct choice depends on endpoint support and operations, not on an assumed performance advantage.
Deployment and procurement checks
- Walk the full pathway and record horizontal, vertical, entry and service-loop sections.
- Confirm tray fill, bend points, pulling method, connector protection and installation access.
- Verify the complete switch and adapter models, firmware, port mode and FEC.
- Specify `MFA1A00-C030`, 30 m, endpoint labels and route identity on the bill of materials.
- Define a spare or rollback path that accounts for replacing the full integrated cable.
Acceptance and evidence capture
- Inspect the cable before and after pulling; record any connector or jacket damage.
- Validate link establishment, negotiated rate, FEC, error counters and monitoring visibility.
- Run representative traffic after final cable dressing and recheck errors over the agreed window.
- Save endpoint versions, port configuration, cable OPN, route label and acceptance result.
FAQ
Is 30 m simply the cabinet-to-cabinet straight-line distance?
No. Use the installed pathway through trays, vertical sections, cabinet entries and service loops.
Can separate optical parts replace this AOC without design changes?
Not automatically. Connector, fiber, wavelength, FEC, endpoint support and loss budget must be redesigned and tested.
What is the main operational risk of a fixed 30 m assembly?
The entire integrated cable may need replacement, so access, labeling, route documentation and rollback planning matter.
Evidence boundary: The retained record supports the 30 m OPN and stated series attributes only. This page does not promise price, stock, delivery, authorization, certification, warranty, lifecycle, universal compatibility or performance improvement.
Review other data-center interconnect lengths, compare a 100GbE network design, and follow the AOC deployment test path.
