The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 4x 25G SFP28 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a 100Gbps copper connection between QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 ports with a cable length of 1m (3ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. Direct attach copper keeps both latency and power consumption to a minimum, which makes it the economical choice for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks.

Applications
Designed for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 4x 25G SFP28 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) carries 100Gbps between QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 interfaces. This unit is offered 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. Our factory programs the compatibility coding for your switch brand before shipment and verifies each unit on real host equipment. The link runs QSFP28-4x 25G-NRZ SFP28-1x 25G-NRZ modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 100G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
Standards compliance covers QSFP28 MSA, SFP28 MSA, SFF-8665, SFF-8679, SFF-8472, SFF-8402. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 interface; if your network uses a specific vendor's coding, tell us the switch model and we will program and verify it before delivery.
Ordering Information
The part number changes with length: QSFP-100G-4SAC01 is the shortest standard option. Available lengths are 1m (3ft), 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. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
Worldwide Delivery
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.
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.
Packaging
Each unit is sealed in an anti-static bag, cushioned in a blister tray and boxed in an export-grade carton. Outer cartons carry handling marks and can be palletized for air or sea freight. If your project requires retail boxes, barcodes or your own brand on the label, we can arrange that as well.
Factory Custom Capability
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.
