Applications
The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 4x 25G SFP28 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) connects QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 ports at 100Gbps in 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. This unit is produced in 5 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 9m (29ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request.
Standards and Compatibility
Standards compliance covers QSFP28 MSA, SFP28 MSA, SFF-8665, SFF-8679, SFF-8472, SFF-8402. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 interface; if your network uses a specific vendor's coding, tell us the switch model and we will program and verify it before delivery.
Ordering Information
The part number depends on length, e.g. QSFP-100G-4SAC01 at the shortest standard length. This cable is available in 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory. Wire gauge: 30AWG.
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.
Worldwide Delivery
We ship to customers around the world every week. Express couriers handle most orders door to door in a few days; larger consignments go by air or sea to keep freight costs down. Tracking information is provided for every shipment, and we are flexible on shipping accounts and forwarders.
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.
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.
