100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ AOC

The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ AOC, 0.5m (2ft) is an active optical cable assembly with QSFP28 to QSFP28, carrying 100Gbps over OM3 multimode at 850nm. Factory terminated and tested as a complete link, it offers a lighter and more flexible alternative to discrete transceivers with patch cords for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. Standard lengths span 0.5m (2ft) to 30m (98ft).

In 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ AOC, 0.5m (2ft) provides a factory terminated 100Gbps link between QSFP28 to QSFP28 ports. This unit is provided in 11 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 30m (98ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. For networks standardized on Cisco hardware, it is a drop-in equivalent of the QSFP-100G-AOC50CM. The link runs 4x 25G-NRZ to 4x 25G-NRZ modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 100G switch silicon.

Compliance: IEEE 802.3 bm, SFF-8665. For projects standardized on Cisco hardware, this product replaces the QSFP-100G-AOC50CM directly, with identical fit and function. 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-AO005 at the shortest standard option. The cable is supplied in 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft) and 30m (98ft). Custom lengths beyond the standard range are available on request. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.

Every unit we ship is tested in our own test bed on mainstream switch and transport platforms before packing. Our test center has been fully upgraded, which sets us apart from other third party product providers: 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers and direct attach cables are verified on the latest top brand equipment, including selected original switches that can hardly be found elsewhere.

Default packaging is simple and protective: sealed bag, blister tray, export carton. For OEM customers we also offer white-label packing, custom printed boxes and per-unit labeling with your own part numbers, so the goods can go straight into your sales channel.

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.
