QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT 100G QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ to 2 x 50G QSFP28 2 x 25G NRZ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 5m (16ft)

This HT cable matches the QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT requirement for multi-vendor equipment. The 5m (16ft) assembly supports 100G operation and provides a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly; its complete electrical and mechanical details are listed below.

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-5M16FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-7M23FT at 7m (23ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 2m. 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 5m (16ft) length gives QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. The integrated optical assembly should be supported along its route without tight bends or connector pull loads; the AOC specification and host support must still match the intended link.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 5m (16ft) 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-5M16FT for the 5m (16ft) 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.

Every QSFP28 to 2x QSFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 5m (16ft) 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.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
