BlueOptics QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Active Optical Cable 10m (32.8ft) - 100G Breakout AOC

The BlueOptics QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance breakout cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and 25 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It provides a reliable and low-latency connection between QSFP28 ports and four SFP28 ports, ideal for data center interconnects and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers significant advantages over traditional copper cabling, including longer reach, lower weight, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. With a length of 10 meters (32.8 feet), it enables flexible network topologies and simplifies cable management. The breakout design allows for efficient aggregation or distribution of 100G signals to four 25G links, maximizing port utilization and reducing overall system cost.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects (Top-of-Rack to End-of-Row)
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Enterprise networking upgrades to 100G/25G
• Telecommunications and service provider networks
• Any environment requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency connections
