BlueOptics QSFP28-4SFP28-Cable_2-BL Active Optical Cable 2m 4xSFP28 Black

The BlueOptics QSFP28-4SFP28-Cable_2-BL is a high-performance Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for demanding data center and high-performance computing environments. This breakout cable features a QSFP28 connector on one end and four SFP28 connectors on the other, providing a reliable and efficient solution for 100 Gbps aggregate data transmission over fiber optic infrastructure. With a length of 2 meters and a sleek black jacket, it is ideal for short-range interconnects within racks or between adjacent equipment.

Advantages

This cable offers significant advantages over traditional copper solutions, including longer reach, lighter weight, and superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity. The active optical design ensures low power consumption and high signal integrity, making it perfect for high-speed data links. Its breakout configuration allows for flexible deployment, connecting a single 100 Gbps port to four 25 Gbps ports, simplifying cabling and reducing costs.
