BlueOptics QSFP28 - 4x SFP28 Active Optical Cable 10 m Breakout AOC BO282703L10M

The BlueOptics QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance breakout cable designed for data center and enterprise networking applications. It provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for connecting 100G QSFP28 ports to four 25G SFP28 ports over a distance of 10 meters. This plug-and-play cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cables, simplifying deployment and reducing total cost of ownership.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers several key benefits: it is hot-pluggable, supports high-speed data transmission up to 100 Gbps, and consumes less than 2.5W typical power. The breakout design allows for efficient utilization of existing 25G infrastructure while upgrading to 100G. The cable is compliant with IEEE 802.3bj (100GBASE-SR4) and SFF standards, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment.
