The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 2x 50G QSFP28 2x 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a 100Gbps copper connection between QSFP28 to QSFP28 ports with a cable length of 1m. Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. Direct attach copper keeps both latency and power consumption to a minimum, which makes it the economical choice for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks.

Applications
Designed for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 2x 50G QSFP28 2x 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) carries 100Gbps between QSFP28 to QSFP28 interfaces. This unit is produced in 6 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 9m (29ft). Because the assembly is factory terminated and tested as a complete link, installation is plug and play on both ends. Our factory programs the compatibility coding for your switch brand before shipment and verifies each unit on real host equipment. The link runs 4x 25G-NRZ to Dual 2x 25G-NRZ modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 100G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with SFF-8665, QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8636, SFF-8679. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP28 to QSFP28 port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.
Ordering Information
The part number depends on length, e.g. QSFP-100G-2QAC01 at the shortest standard length. This cable is available in 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
Tested Before Shipment
We do not ship untested stock. Each transceiver and cable is powered up in our test racks, checked for link stability, transmit power, receiver sensitivity and diagnostic readouts, and only then packed for delivery. This factory-level testing is one reason network integrators keep reordering from us year after year.
Packaging
Each unit is sealed in an anti-static bag, cushioned in a blister tray and boxed in an export-grade carton. Outer cartons carry handling marks and can be palletized for air or sea freight. If your project requires retail boxes, barcodes or your own brand on the label, we can arrange that as well.
Factory Custom Capability
Working directly with the manufacturer means no middleman limits. We support OEM and ODM projects, custom cable assemblies, alternative packaging and compatibility coding for major equipment vendors, with engineering support from the same team that designs our standard products.
Logistics
Our warehouse keeps fast-moving transceivers and cables ready for same-week dispatch. Courier, air freight and sea freight options are all available depending on your budget and schedule, and we consolidate multiple items into one shipment whenever it saves you cost.
