The 400G QSFP-DD to 4 x 100G QSFP28 Active Optical Breakout AOC connects QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP28 ports at 400Gbps over Breakout AOC fiber at 850nm. Because the optics are built into the cable ends, installation is plug and play with no separate transceivers to manage, and airflow inside the rack stays unobstructed. It is well suited to 400G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. Cable length: Customized.

Applications
The 400G QSFP-DD to 4 x 100G QSFP28 Active Optical Breakout AOC connects QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP28 ports at 400Gbps in 400G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. Ordered in customized lengths, it matches the actual rack geometry without slack. By fanning one port out to 4x QSFP28, it doubles or quadruples the number of endpoints served per switch port and keeps the cabling plant simple. If your project needs a specific vendor coding or custom label, our production line handles it as a routine step before packing.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8661, IEEE802.3bs-400GAUI-8, IEEE802.3bm-CAUI-4, CMIS 4.0, SFF-8636. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP28 port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.
Ordering Information
This cable is built to order in customized lengths. Our part number QDD-400G-4Q4xNAOxxx identifies the configuration. When placing an order, tell us the length you need and any label or packaging requirements.
Packaging Options
Default packaging is simple and protective: sealed bag, blister tray, export carton. For OEM customers we also offer white-label packing, custom printed boxes and per-unit labeling with your own part numbers, so the goods can go straight into your sales channel.
Built to Your Spec
Our product line has grown with the industry for three decades, from GBIC-era modules to today's 800G and 1.6T interconnects. If the exact configuration you need is not listed, we can usually build it: custom lengths, mixed connector breakouts, OEM branding and project-specific firmware coding are all supported.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard products are held in stock and usually ship within one to three working days. We dispatch worldwide by DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS, and for bulk orders we arrange air or sea freight. Shipments can also be sent collect on your own courier account or delivered to your freight forwarder.
Quality Assurance
Before any product leaves our factory it goes through optical performance testing, compatibility verification on real switch platforms and a final visual inspection. Our in-house test lab holds a wide range of current and legacy switches from major brands, so interoperability is proven on the actual equipment your network uses rather than assumed from paper specifications.
