The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ AOC, 0.5m (2ft) connects QSFP28 to QSFP28 ports at 100Gbps over OM3 multimode fiber at 850nm. Because the optics are built into the cable ends, installation is plug and play with no separate transceivers to manage, and airflow inside the rack stays unobstructed. It is well suited to 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. Standard production lengths cover 0.5m (2ft) to 30m (98ft).

Designed for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ AOC, 0.5m (2ft) carries 100Gbps between QSFP28 to QSFP28 interfaces. This unit is supplied in 11 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 30m (98ft). It installs directly into standard ports with no separate transceivers or patch cords to manage at either end. Compatibility with Cisco systems is verified in our own test lab before shipment, so the unit works out of the box as an equivalent of 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.
Part numbers vary by length, for instance QSFP-100G-AO005 for the shortest standard version. You can order this assembly 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). Non-standard lengths can be produced on request. 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.
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.
We have manufactured fiber optic connectivity products since 1995 and run our own production lines in Shenzhen. Beyond the standard catalog we build to order: special cable lengths, custom connector combinations, vendor-specific compatibility coding and private labeling. Send us your requirement and our engineers will quote a practical solution.
Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.
