BlueOptics QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Active Optical Cable 10m (32.8ft) BO282703L10M

The BlueOptics QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance breakout cable designed for 100G to 4x25G connectivity in data centers and enterprise networks. With a length of 10 meters, it provides reliable, low-latency transmission over multimode fiber.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers significant advantages over traditional copper cabling, including longer reach, lighter weight, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. It supports hot-pluggable QSFP28 and SFP28 connectors, enabling easy deployment and scalability. The breakout configuration allows efficient utilization of 100G ports by connecting to four 25G devices.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Enterprise network top-of-rack to server connections
• 100G to 25G migration scenarios
