QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M98FT 100G QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ to 2 x 50G QSFP28 2 x 25G NRZ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 30m (98ft)

For short, high-density connections, this AOC cable combines 100G performance with a fixed 30m (98ft) cable run. It corresponds to Generic QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M98FT and uses a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

The listed modulation format is 4x 25G-NRZ to 2x 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 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M98FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-20M66FT at 20m (66ft) and QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-50M164FT at 50m (164ft). It adds 10m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 20m. 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 (100G Per End)1.5W (50G 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 Electrical MSA, SFF-8636, SFF-8665. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28 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 30m (98ft) 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.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M98FT, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 30m (98ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Generic software can request a pre-order check.

Use part number QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M98FT for the 30m (98ft) 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.

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.

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.
