SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M98FT 100G SFP-DD 2 x 50G PAM4 to QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ Active Optical Cable, 30m (98ft)

This HT cable matches the SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M98FT requirement for multi-vendor equipment. The 30m (98ft) 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.

OEM Part Number: SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M98FTHT Part Number: SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M98FT

• Minimum bend radius: 30mm

The listed modulation format is SFP-DD-2x 50G-PAM4 QSFP28-4x 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.

The intended application is 100GBASE SR2 Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include SFP-DD & QSFP28 MSA, IEEE 802.3cd, RoHS6 (Lead-free). 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 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.

SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M98FT is the longest of 9 verified length options in this family. Compared with SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-20M66FT at 20m (66ft), it provides 10m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

The rated power consumption is SFP-DD: <3.5WQSFP28: <5.5W. 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 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.

Our compatibility setup for Generic SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M98FT is checked together with the physical 30m (98ft) assembly. Factory verification covers connector condition, host identification, error-free link establishment and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Providing the exact host model and firmware release helps us identify platform-specific requirements before production.

When ordering, specify SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M98FT, cable length 30m (98ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

Every SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-30M98FT compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 30m (98ft) 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.

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.
