In 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 2x 50G QSFP28 2x 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a factory terminated 100Gbps link between QSFP28 to QSFP28 ports. This unit is supplied in 6 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 9m (29ft). Because the assembly is factory terminated and tested as a complete link, installation is plug and play on both ends. Our factory programs the compatibility coding for your switch brand before shipment and verifies each unit on real host equipment. The link runs 4x 25G-NRZ to Dual 2x 25G-NRZ modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 100G switch silicon.

Standards compliance covers SFF-8665, QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8636, SFF-8679. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP28 to QSFP28 interface; if your network uses a specific vendor's coding, tell us the switch model and we will program and verify it before delivery.

Part numbers vary by length, for instance QSFP-100G-2QAC01 for the shortest standard version. You can order this assembly in 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). Non-standard lengths can be produced on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.

Our warehouse keeps fast-moving transceivers and cables ready for same-week dispatch. Courier, air freight and sea freight options are all available depending on your budget and schedule, and we consolidate multiple items into one shipment whenever it saves you cost.

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.

Products are first packed into blister trays or self-sealed bags and then into cartons. Standard labels and marks are applied by default, and customized packing and labeling are available on request.

Our product line has grown with the industry for three decades, from GBIC-era modules to today's 800G and 1.6T interconnects. If the exact configuration you need is not listed, we can usually build it: custom lengths, mixed connector breakouts, OEM branding and project-specific firmware coding are all supported.
