Applications
Designed for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Active DAC, 1m (3ft) carries 100Gbps between QSFP28 to QSFP28 interfaces. This unit is offered in 3 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 5m (16ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request. The link runs 4x 25G-NRZ to 4x 25G-NRZ modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 100G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8665. 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
Order this assembly under part number QSFP-100G-AC01. Available lengths are 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft) and 5m (16ft). If you need a length outside this list, our factory can build it to order. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.
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.
