Brocade QSFP28-100G-AOC-7M Compatible 100G QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ Active Optical Cable, 7m (23ft)

The HT-manufactured QSFP28-100G-AOC-7M compatible cable provides 100G connectivity for Brocade equipment. This 7m (23ft) 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.

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade QSFP28-100G-AOC-7M
• 100G connectivity at 100Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP28 to QSFP28
• Fixed length and part number: 7m (23ft), QSFP28-100G-AOC-7M
• Cable construction: Optical Cable
• Maximum power consumption: <2.2W
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm
• Operating temperature: 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F)

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.

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 7m (23ft) 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.

QSFP28-100G-AOC-7M occupies the middle of this family between QSFP28-100G-AOC-5M at 5m (16ft) and QSFP28-100G-AOC-10M at 10m (33ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 3m. 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.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with QSFP28-100G-AOC-7M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 7m (23ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Brocade software can request a pre-order check.

Quote HT part number QSFP28-100G-AOC-7M with the required quantity. The 7m (23ft) length is fixed for this part number; if a different length is needed, select its corresponding page and OEM reference from the length list above. Standard HT labels and project-specific packaging are available.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.

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.
