Cisco QSFP-4SFP25G-AOC10M Compatible 100G QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ to 4 x 25G SFP28 NRZ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 10m (33ft)

The HT-manufactured QSFP-4SFP25G-AOC10M compatible cable provides 100G connectivity for Cisco equipment. This 10m (33ft) version is a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly, with an exact part number and length that can be matched directly to the equipment requirement.

The listed modulation format is QSFP28-4x 25G-NRZ SFP28-1x 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.

The rated power consumption is 2.2W (QSFP28 End)0.8W (SFP28 Per End). 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.

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.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include QSFP28 MSA, SFP28 MSA. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The QSFP28 to 4x 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.

QSFP-4SFP25G-AOC10M occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-4SFP25G-AOC7M at 7m (23ft) and QSFP-4SFP25G-AOC15M 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.

For this Cisco application, testing combines digital identification with actual traffic-link verification and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Both ends are inspected for latch, boot and connector damage. If the project uses a specific hardware revision or a channelized port, send those details so that the intended configuration can be reviewed before shipment.

When ordering, specify QSFP-4SFP25G-AOC10M, 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.

Every QSFP-4SFP25G-AOC10M compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 10m (33ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
