Product overview

100G QSFP28 to 4xSFP28 Breakout AOC integrates both host ends and the cable assembly for fixed short-reach deployment. Confirm the exact length, both host models, port mode, FEC, routing space, temperature, compatibility coding and delivery version before ordering.

  • 100G Breakout AOC form factor for the defined host-port direction.

  • QSFP28 to 4xSFP28 interface for Custom length links.

  • Active optical cable; confirm the exact fiber or cable assembly before ordering.

  • Validate host coding, FEC, diagnostics, power, thermal behavior and long-duration stability.

Selection and deployment notes

  • Before ordering 100G QSFP28 to 4xSFP28 Breakout AOC, confirm the exact host, software, port mode, reach, fiber or cable, connector, FEC, temperature, quantity, compatibility coding and delivery version.

Selection FAQ

100G QSFP28 to 4xSFP28 Breakout AOC selection questions

How is the length of 100G QSFP28 to 4xSFP28 Breakout AOC chosen?

100G QSFP28 to 4xSFP28 Breakout AOC is built to a fixed length, so measure the real cable path including slack, bend radius and cable-management detours rather than the straight-line distance between ports. An assembly that is slightly short cannot be extended, and one that is far too long congests the tray.

Is 100G QSFP28 to 4xSFP28 Breakout AOC easier to route than a DAC at the same speed?

Usually yes: 100G QSFP28 to 4xSFP28 Breakout AOC is lighter and bends tighter than a Twinax assembly at the same rate, which matters across dense QSFP28 panels. The trade-off is that it draws power at both ends and cannot be repaired in the field.

What do I need to specify to request a quote for 100G QSFP28 to 4xSFP28 Breakout AOC?

Give the host vendor, model and software version at both ends, the QSFP28 port or lane mode, the operating temperature range, the quantity per site and the target delivery date. For 100G QSFP28 to 4xSFP28 Breakout AOC also state the exact length per link and whether the assembly has to break out to lower-rate ports. Compatibility is confirmed per platform, so the host details matter as much as the optical specification.
