The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Active DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a 100Gbps copper connection between QSFP28 to QSFP28 ports with a cable length of 1m (3ft). 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
In 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Active DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a factory terminated 100Gbps link between QSFP28 to QSFP28 ports. This unit is produced in 3 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 5m (16ft). It installs directly into standard ports with no separate transceivers or patch cords to manage at either end. 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, SFF-8665. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP28 to QSFP28 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 factory part number is QSFP-100G-AC01. This cable is available in 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft) and 5m (16ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory. Wire gauge: 30AWG.
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.
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.
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.
