100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 2x 50G QSFP28 2x 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft)
The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 2x 50G QSFP28 2x 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) is a active twinax direct attach copper cable with QSFP28 to QSFP28, supporting 100Gbps links over a length of 1m. Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, and complies with SFF-8665, QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8636, SFF-8679.

Applications
In 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 2x 50G QSFP28 2x 25G NRZ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a factory terminated 100Gbps link between QSFP28 to QSFP28 ports. This unit is made in 6 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 9m (29ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request. The link runs 4x 25G-NRZ to Dual 2x 25G-NRZ modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 100G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
Standards compliance covers SFF-8665, QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8636, SFF-8679. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP28 to QSFP28 interface; if your network uses a specific vendor's coding, tell us the switch model and we will program and verify it before delivery.
Ordering Information
Part numbers differ by length, for example QSFP-100G-2QAC01 at the shortest length. We offer this cable in 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). Other lengths can be custom manufactured on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
Packing Details
Standard packing is an anti-static bag plus blister protection, with cartons sized to keep products from moving in transit. We apply our standard labels by default; neutral packing or customer-branded labels, part number stickers and serial barcodes are all available on request.
OEM and Custom Orders
We have manufactured fiber optic connectivity products since 1995 and run our own production lines in Shenzhen. Beyond the standard catalog we build to order: special cable lengths, custom connector combinations, vendor-specific compatibility coding and private labeling. Send us your requirement and our engineers will quote a practical solution.
How We Ship
Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.
Quality and Testing
Every unit we ship is tested in our own test bed on mainstream switch and transport platforms before packing. Our test center has been fully upgraded, which sets us apart from other third party product providers: 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers and direct attach cables are verified on the latest top brand equipment, including selected original switches that can hardly be found elsewhere.
