SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-3M10FT 100G SFP-DD 2 x 50G PAM4 to QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ Active Optical Cable, 3m (10ft)

The SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-3M10FT cable offers a direct SFP-DD to QSFP28 connection at 100Gbps. Its 3m (10ft) length and AOC construction are intended for multi-vendor equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

OEM Part Number: SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-3M10FTHT Part Number: SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-3M10FT

Product Highlights

• 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.

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 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.

At 3m (10ft), this assembly can bridge non-aligned ports or adjacent racks while remaining a single direct-attach link. Support longer horizontal runs with suitable cable management and preserve space for cooling and future maintenance.

SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-3M10FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-2M7FT at 2m (7ft) and SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-5M16FT at 5m (16ft). It adds 1m 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 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.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-3M10FT, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 3m (10ft) 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.

This product is ordered as SFP-DD to QSFP28-100G-AOC-3M10FT in 3m (10ft). 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.

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.

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.
