100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 4x 25G SFP28 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC

The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 4x 25G SFP28 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) is a active breakout dac direct attach copper cable with QSFP28 to 4x SFP28, supporting 100Gbps links over a length of 1m (3ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, and complies with QSFP28 MSA, SFP28 MSA, SFF-8665, SFF-8679, SFF-8472, SFF-8402.

The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 4x 25G SFP28 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) connects QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 ports at 100Gbps in 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. This unit is provided in 5 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 9m (29ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request. The link runs QSFP28-4x 25G-NRZ SFP28-1x 25G-NRZ modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 100G switch silicon.

Compliance: QSFP28 MSA, SFP28 MSA, SFF-8665, SFF-8679, SFF-8472, SFF-8402. 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.

The part number varies by length, e.g. QSFP-100G-4SAC01 at the shortest standard option. The cable is supplied in 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). Custom lengths beyond the standard range are available on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.

Production samples and every outgoing batch pass through bit-error-rate measurement, temperature verification and plug-in compatibility checks on mainstream switches and routers. Because we are the manufacturer, any issue found in testing is fed back to the production line immediately instead of being passed on to customers.

Transceivers and cables are individually protected against static and dust, then consolidated into sturdy cartons suitable for international courier shipment. For larger orders we shrink-wrap and strap cartons onto pallets. Tell us your warehouse or retail requirements and we will pack accordingly.

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.

We ship to customers around the world every week. Express couriers handle most orders door to door in a few days; larger consignments go by air or sea to keep freight costs down. Tracking information is provided for every shipment, and we are flexible on shipping accounts and forwarders.
