QSFP28 to 4x SFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT 100G QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ to 4 x 25G SFP28 NRZ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 5m (16ft)

Use the QSFP28 to 4x SFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT compatible assembly where a 100G connection is required between compatible ports. This page covers the 5m (16ft) version only, with its own HT part number, specifications and compatibility verification.

The listed modulation format is QSFP28-4x 25G-NRZ SFP28-1x 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 intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include QSFP28 MSA, SFP28 MSA. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The QSFP28 to 4x 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.

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 4x SFP28-100G-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.

QSFP28 to 4x SFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP28 to 4x SFP28-100G-AOC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft) and QSFP28 to 4x SFP28-100G-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 (QSFP28 End)0.8W (SFP28 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.

Each QSFP28 to 4x SFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT 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 Generic platform should be included with the order.

This product is ordered as QSFP28 to 4x SFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT in 5m (16ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

Quality control includes connector appearance, cable identification and functional verification. Packing materials are selected to keep the connector housings and cable boots from taking impact during transport, and the coil is not compressed into an undersized bundle. Volume orders can include customer-specific labels and packing documentation.

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.
