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

The BlueOptics QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance breakout cable designed for data center and high-performance computing environments. It provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for connecting 100G QSFP28 ports to four 25G SFP28 ports over a distance of 10 meters (32.8 feet). This plug-and-play cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cables, simplifying deployment and reducing total cost of ownership.

Advantages

This breakout AOC offers significant advantages over traditional transceiver and fiber solutions. It is hot-pluggable, low power consumption (<2.5W per end), and features low latency and low EMI. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures safety in confined spaces. MSA compliant for broad compatibility.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects (ToR to server)
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Enterprise networking (core to access)
• 100G to 4x25G breakout applications
