BlueOptics QSFP28 to SFP28 Active Optical Cable 10m (32.8ft) - 100G QSFP28 to 25G SFP28 AOC

The BlueOptics QSFP28-SFP28-10M is a high-performance Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for reliable, high-speed data transmission over 10 meters. This breakout cable connects a QSFP28 port to an SFP28 port, enabling seamless integration between 100G and 25G equipment in data centers and enterprise networks.

Advantages

This AOC offers low power consumption (<1.5W), hot-pluggable connectivity, and excellent signal integrity. It eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cables, simplifying deployment and reducing cost. The cable is RoHS compliant and features low EMI for minimal interference.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Enterprise networking (server-to-switch connections)
• 25G/100G Ethernet and InfiniBand EDR environments
