BlueOptics QSFP28 to SFP28 Active Optical Cable 10m (BO282703L10M)

The BlueOptics QSFP28 to SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance breakout cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It converts one QSFP28 port into four SFP28 ports, enabling flexible connectivity in data centers and high-performance computing environments. With a length of 10 meters, it provides reliable, low-latency transmission over multimode fiber.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers significant advantages over traditional copper cabling, including longer reach, lighter weight, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The breakout design allows for efficient utilization of switch ports, reducing the need for additional transceivers and simplifying cable management. It is hot-pluggable and MSA compliant, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment.
