BlueOptics QSFP28 naar SFP28 Active Optical Cable 10m (32.8ft) 25Gbps

The BlueOptics QSFP28 to SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) provides a high-performance, cost-effective solution for 25Gbps data center and enterprise networking. This 10-meter (32.8ft) cable integrates a QSFP28 connector on one end and an SFP28 connector on the other, enabling seamless connectivity between 25G and 100G ports. It is MSA compliant and compatible with multi-vendor equipment, including Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and Mellanox.

Advantages

Active Optical Cable technology ensures low power consumption (<2.0W typical) and high signal integrity over longer distances compared to passive copper cables. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety in data center environments. Hot-pluggable design simplifies installation and maintenance.
