Brocade QSFP28-100G-AOC-10M Compatible 100G QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ Active Optical Cable, 10m (33ft)

The HT-manufactured QSFP28-100G-AOC-10M compatible cable provides 100G connectivity for Brocade 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 4x 25G-NRZ to 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.

QSFP28-100G-AOC-10M occupies the middle of this family between QSFP28-100G-AOC-7M at 7m (23ft) and QSFP28-100G-AOC-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 <2.2W. 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 100G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include IEEE 802.3 bm, SFF-8665. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

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.

Each QSFP28-100G-AOC-10M compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Because operating systems can apply different qualification rules by hardware revision, the intended Brocade platform should be included with the order.

Use part number QSFP28-100G-AOC-10M for the 10m (33ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

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.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
