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

The BlueOptics QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance breakout cable designed for 100G to 4x25G connectivity. It enables seamless integration of 100G QSFP28 ports with 25G SFP28 ports, ideal for data center and enterprise networks. With a length of 10 meters (32.8 feet), this active optical cable ensures ultra-low latency and reliable signal integrity over multimode fiber.

Advantages

This breakout AOC offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for network upgrades and expansions. It eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cables, reducing complexity and installation time. The hot-pluggable design and low power consumption (<2.5W) make it energy-efficient and easy to deploy. Multi-vendor compatibility ensures it works with leading brands such as Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Mellanox, HP, and Dell.
