100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Active DAC

The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Active DAC, 1m (3ft) is a active dac direct attach copper cable with QSFP28 to QSFP28, supporting 100Gbps links over a length of 1m (3ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, and complies with QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8665.

The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Active DAC, 1m (3ft) is a 100Gbps active copper cable for QSFP28 to QSFP28 connections in 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. This unit is available in 3 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 5m (16ft). 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 4x 25G-NRZ modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 100G switch silicon.

Compliance: QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8665. Every unit's EEPROM coding and link behavior are verified on real host equipment in our lab, so what arrives at your site is ready to use.

The standard part number of this assembly is QSFP-100G-AC01. We supply this cable in 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft) and 5m (16ft). Custom lengths beyond this range can also be produced on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.

Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.

Before any product leaves our factory it goes through optical performance testing, compatibility verification on real switch platforms and a final visual inspection. Our in-house test lab holds a wide range of current and legacy switches from major brands, so interoperability is proven on the actual equipment your network uses rather than assumed from paper specifications.

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.

Because we are the factory, customization is straightforward: non-standard lengths, different jacket materials, specific polarity or breakout wiring, and compatibility programming for particular switch brands are all routine work for us. Small trial orders are accepted so you can verify quality before scaling up.
