QSFP28 to 2x SFP28-100G-DAC-4M13FT 100G QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ to 2 x 50G QSFP28 2 x 25G NRZ Passive Copper Breakout Cable, 4m (13ft)

The HT-manufactured QSFP28 to 2x SFP28-100G-DAC-4M13FT compatible cable provides 100G connectivity for multi-vendor equipment. This 4m (13ft) version is a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords, 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 SFP28-2x 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.

The QSFP28 to 2x 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.

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

The 4m (13ft) length gives QSFP28 to 2x SFP28-100G-DAC-4M13FT more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. Longer copper runs need particular attention to routing weight and bend control; the DAC specification and host support must still match the intended link.

QSFP28 to 2x SFP28-100G-DAC-4M13FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP28 to 2x SFP28-100G-DAC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and QSFP28 to 2x SFP28-100G-DAC-5M16FT at 5m (16ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. 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 0.5W. 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 26AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 10D/5D (Dynamic/Static). 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/50G Ethernet, 128G Fibre Channel. Listed interface and protocol references include IEEE 802.3, QSFP28 MSA, SFP-8665, SFF-8636. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes QSFP28 to 2x SFP28-100G-DAC-4M13FT. Before shipment, we inspect both connectors and verify identification, link establishment and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Host hardware and firmware revisions can affect third-party cable acceptance, so customers can provide the equipment model and software release for a pre-order compatibility review.

Use part number QSFP28 to 2x SFP28-100G-DAC-4M13FT for the 4m (13ft) 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.

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.
