BlueOptics QSFP28 naar 4x SFP28 Active Optical Cable 10m (32,8ft) - 100Gbps Breakout AOC

The BlueOptics QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance breakout cable designed for data centers and high-performance computing environments. It provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for connecting QSFP28 ports to four SFP28 ports over a distance of 10 meters (32.8 feet). This active optical cable supports aggregate data rates of up to 100 Gbps (4x 25 Gbps per lane) and is compliant with 100GBASE-SR4 standards. It features hot-swappable connectors, low power consumption (<2.5W), and supports DDM/DOM for real-time monitoring. The cable is built with multimode fiber and operates at 850 nm wavelength, ensuring high-speed data transmission with minimal signal loss.

Advantages

This breakout AOC offers several advantages over traditional copper cables, including longer reach, lighter weight, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. It simplifies cable management by combining four SFP28 connections into a single QSFP28 interface, reducing clutter and improving airflow in dense network racks. The active optical technology ensures consistent performance over the full 10-meter length, making it ideal for top-of-rack to server connections.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
