Applications
In 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ AOC, 0.5m (2ft) provides a factory terminated 100Gbps link between QSFP28 to QSFP28 ports. This unit is produced in 11 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 30m (98ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. Compatibility with Cisco systems is verified in our own test lab before shipment, so the unit works out of the box as an equivalent of QSFP-100G-AOC50CM.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: IEEE 802.3 bm, SFF-8665. For projects standardized on Cisco hardware, this product replaces the QSFP-100G-AOC50CM directly, with identical fit and function. Every unit's EEPROM coding and link behavior are verified on real host equipment in our lab, so what arrives at your site is ready to use.
Ordering Information
The part number depends on length, e.g. QSFP-100G-AO005 at the shortest standard length. This cable is available in 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft) and 30m (98ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
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 and Testing
Every unit we ship is tested in our own test bed on mainstream switch and transport platforms before packing. Our test center has been fully upgraded, which sets us apart from other third party product providers: 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers and direct attach cables are verified on the latest top brand equipment, including selected original switches that can hardly be found elsewhere.
Packing Details
Standard packing is an anti-static bag plus blister protection, with cartons sized to keep products from moving in transit. We apply our standard labels by default; neutral packing or customer-branded labels, part number stickers and serial barcodes are all available on request.
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.
