Specifications

Signal and Lane Configuration

The listed modulation format is SFP-DD-2x 50G-PAM4 QSFP28-4x 25G-NRZ. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.

Position Within the Length Range

SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-10M33FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-7M23FT at 7m (23ft) and SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-15M49FT at 15m (49ft). It adds 3m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

Procurement and Port-Mapping Review

A useful purchase order should identify the host platform, the expected OEM code and the exact cable length as separate pieces of information. This prevents a physically similar assembly from being substituted when the port identification or reach is different. For mixed-length installations, prepare one order line per part number and reconcile each delivered cable with its intended pair of ports. For this assembly, the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the stated power consumption is SFP-DD: <3.5WQSFP28: <5.5W; the jacket material is OFNP.

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is SFP-DD: <3.5WQSFP28: <5.5W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses OFNP jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is 100GBASE SR2 Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include SFP-DD & QSFP28 MSA, IEEE 802.3cd, RoHS6 (Lead-free). Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Integrated Optical Assembly

The optical engines and fiber are permanently integrated into this AOC. There are no detachable optical modules to clean or exchange. Handle the complete assembly by its connector housings and cable, and keep both ends matched to the same interface specification.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

At 10m(33ft), SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-10M33FT should be planned as an extended equipment-room connection rather than a short in-rack jumper. Mark the complete vertical and horizontal route before installation, including every manager the cable will actually pass through. Support the integrated optical cable and both optical engines along that path and keep both ends free from pull loads. Within this family, SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-7M23FT is shorter at 7m (23ft), while SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-15M49FT is the next longer choice at 15m (49ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

Our procurement-oriented compatibility check begins with the OEM reference and ends with a live host link. We record the physical length separately from the identification configuration, so the cable supplied for this page remains the stated version rather than a generic length substitute. The check includes receive activity and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.

Ordering Information

For a clear bill of materials, quote the OEM reference, HT part number, length and quantity on the same line. Add the switch or server model and software release when a pre-order review is required; project labels can repeat those details for receiving and installation teams. Quantity and any labeling instructions should be attached specifically to SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-10M33FT.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Before packing, the assembly is checked for connector condition, identification and link operation. Cables for multi-line orders can be labelled and grouped by part number, making it easier to match each length to the procurement record without opening every protective bag. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. Delivery can be arranged by courier, air freight or sea freight, and goods may instead be handed to an appointed forwarder or shipped on the customer’s courier account.
