Applications
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 offered 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 and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with SFF-8665, QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8636, SFF-8679. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP28 to QSFP28 port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.
Ordering Information
The part number changes with length: QSFP-100G-2QAC01 is the shortest standard option. Available lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). If you need a length outside this list, our factory can build it to order. Wire gauge: 30AWG.
How We Pack
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.
OEM and Custom Orders
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.
Delivery
Goods are normally sent by courier such as DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS; air and sea freight are also available on request. Commonly used items are kept in stock for immediate shipment, and out-of-stock items are usually delivered within a few working days. We can also ship on your courier account or hand goods to your appointed forwarder.
Reliability Control
From incoming component inspection to final burn-in, quality is controlled at each step of production. Finished units are verified on real networking equipment in our compatibility lab, and test records are kept per batch so that any field question can be traced back quickly.
