Dell AOC-Q28DD-8S28-25G-10M Compatible 200G QSFP-DD 8 x 25G NRZ to 8 x 25G SFP28 25G NRZ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 10m (33ft)

For short, high-density connections, this AOC cable combines 200G performance with a fixed 10m (33ft) cable run. It corresponds to Dell AOC-Q28DD-8S28-25G-10M and uses a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

The listed modulation format is 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.

This assembly uses 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.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include QSFP-DD MSA V5.0,SFP28 MSA,CMIS V4.0,SFF-8472. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The QSFP-DD to 8x 25G SFP28 configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.

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.

The extended 10m (33ft) reach supports connections across adjacent racks or between separated equipment rows. Secure the cable along its route, protect both ends from pull loads and preserve ventilation. The integrated AOC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

AOC-Q28DD-8S28-25G-10M occupies the middle of this family between AOC-Q28DD-8S28-25G-7M at 7m (23ft) and AOC-Q28DD-8S28-25G-15M 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.

The rated power consumption is QSFP-DD <4W,SFP28 <1W. 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.

Compatibility is more than matching the QSFP-DD to 8x 25G SFP28 shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting AOC-Q28DD-8S28-25G-10M and is checked for identification, stable link behavior and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. We recommend confirming the equipment model and software release for critical deployments or mixed-vendor installations.

When ordering, specify AOC-Q28DD-8S28-25G-10M, cable length 10m (33ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

Before packing, our team checks the cable jacket, connector boots, latches and identification of each assembly. The cable is then secured in a loose coil and protected against dust and connector impact. Neutral packaging, customer part-number labels and project-specific carton lists can be supplied on request.

Available stock is usually packed and handed to the carrier within one to three working days. Delivery can be arranged by international express, air cargo or sea freight, with tracking details supplied after dispatch. Freight-collect shipments and delivery to a customer warehouse or forwarder can also be coordinated.
