BlueOptics QSFP28 to SFP28 Active Optical Cable 10m (32.8ft) - Compatible

The BlueOptics QSFP28 to SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) provides a high-performance, cost-effective solution for 25 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and high-performance computing environments. This 10-meter cable integrates a QSFP28 connector on one end and an SFP28 connector on the other, enabling seamless connectivity between different port types. Designed to MSA standards, it ensures broad compatibility with networking equipment from major vendors. The active optical technology delivers ultra-low latency and low power consumption, making it ideal for demanding applications.

Advantages

This AOC cable offers several key benefits: it eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cables, simplifying deployment and reducing cost. The 10-meter length provides flexibility in rack-to-rack or top-of-rack connections. With support for 25 Gbps per channel, it meets the bandwidth requirements of modern data centers. The LSZH jacket ensures safety in enclosed spaces, and the hot-swappable design allows for easy maintenance without disrupting network operations.
