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

The BlueOptics QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance breakout cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand EDR applications. It provides a reliable, cost-effective solution for connecting QSFP28 ports to four SFP28 ports over a distance of 10 meters (32.8 feet). This cable is fully compliant with MSA standards and is compatible with a wide range of networking equipment from leading vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Mellanox, HP, and Dell.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers significant advantages over traditional copper cabling, including lower weight, longer reach, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The breakout design allows for efficient utilization of high-density QSFP28 ports, enabling flexible network topologies. With low power consumption (<2.5W at QSFP28 end, <1W per SFP28 module) and a hot-pluggable interface, it simplifies deployment and reduces operational costs.
