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

The BlueOptics QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance breakout cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for interconnecting QSFP28 ports to four SFP28 ports in data centers and high-performance computing environments. With a length of 10 meters (32.8 feet), this cable offers flexibility in network design while maintaining signal integrity over distance.

Advantages

This active optical cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cables, simplifying deployment and reducing cost. It supports aggregate data rates of 100GbE, with each of the four SFP28 channels operating at 25GbE. The cable is hot-swappable and compliant with RoHS, CE, and FCC standards, ensuring broad compatibility and environmental responsibility.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Network switches and routers from major vendors (Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Mellanox)
