QSFP28 to QSFP28-100G-AOC-20M66FT 100G QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ Active Optical Cable, 20m (66ft)

This 20m (66ft) AOC cable is built for multi-vendor equipment requiring the QSFP28 to QSFP28-100G-AOC-20M66FT interface. The 100Gbps link uses QSFP28 to QSFP28 and is supplied as one complete tested assembly.

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.

QSFP28 to QSFP28-100G-AOC-20M66FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP28 to QSFP28-100G-AOC-15M49FT at 15m (49ft) and QSFP28 to QSFP28-100G-AOC-25M82FT at 25m (82ft). It adds 5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. 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.

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 20m (66ft) 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.

For this Generic application, testing combines digital identification with actual traffic-link verification and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Both ends are inspected for latch, boot and connector damage. If the project uses a specific hardware revision or a channelized port, send those details so that the intended configuration can be reviewed before shipment.

Use part number QSFP28 to QSFP28-100G-AOC-20M66FT for the 20m (66ft) 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.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
