Extreme Networks QSFP-100G-4SAC Compatible 100G QSFP28 4 x 25G NRZ to 4 x 25G SFP28 NRZ Active Copper Breakout Cable
For equipment that specifies Extreme Networks QSFP-100G-4SAC, this HT-manufactured ACC family offers 100G direct-attach connectivity with QSFP28 to 4x SFP28. Rather than treating different OEM length codes as interchangeable, the available configurations below link to their own product pages. Mechanical details, installation planning and factory checks are included for engineering and purchasing review.

Project Documentation and Cable Identification
Large deployments are easier to audit when the order code, physical length and endpoint record agree. Keep the OEM reference in the compatibility document and use the HT part number on the packing list. Where several lengths arrive together, labels and carton groups can be arranged by rack or port plan so installers do not have to identify cables by appearance alone. For this series, keep the interface rate, ACC construction and length-specific OEM reference together throughout that review.
Extreme Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing
Factory verification links the compatibility identity to the exact physical assembly described on this page. Identification, connector condition and live link behavior are checked before packing. Customers can submit equipment and firmware details with the project documentation for a more specific pre-order compatibility review. Series-level inspection is followed by the exact length and OEM configuration selected for dispatch. Functional verification includes link establishment and diagnostic indications where the host exposes them.
Applications and Deployment
An ACC link combines copper cabling with active electronics at the connector ends. It avoids separate patch leads but is not interchangeable with a passive DAC merely because the cages look alike. Confirm the supported cable type, lane mode and power allowance on every attached port. For this series, the listed interface is QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 and the aggregate rate is 100G. The stated application is 100G/25G Ethernet.
Cable Construction and Routing
The specification table records the conductor specification is 30AWG; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR); the minimum bend radius is 33mm; the operating temperature is 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F); the power consumption is 1.8W. Use those values when preparing the rack pathway and receiving checklist. Do not pull a connector by its cable, compress the run under tight ties or force excess length into a sharp coil. Connector protection should remain in place until the assembly is ready for insertion.
Ordering Information
Use the listed HT part number for ordering and retain the OEM reference as the host-compatibility cross-reference. Send quantities by length, along with any rack-based packing or label instructions. If the project has mixed equipment, include the host model for each group rather than relying only on the aggregate cable rate. For this series, follow the corresponding length link, quote that exact OEM part number and keep different lengths on separate order lines. HT part number QSFP-100G-4SAC identifies the product family; the linked page provides the final length-specific identity.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Inspection and link testing are completed before the cable enters its protective packaging. Project orders can be packed and labelled by length, rack or customer reference, with packing documentation that makes received quantities straightforward to reconcile against the installation schedule. Both connector ends are inspected as part of the complete assembly, and protective packing is selected to avoid tight bends during transport and storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Extreme Networks cable?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible cable for equipment that specifies QSFP-100G-4SAC, not an original Extreme Networks-branded product.
Are different lengths and OEM part numbers separate products?
Yes. Where a length has its own OEM reference, follow the corresponding link above and order that exact part number on its own line. Do not substitute another length only because the connector arrangement is the same.
Does this ACC cable require separate modules at each end?
No. The connector ends and cable form one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable standalone transceivers, and the complete product is tested together.
What information helps confirm compatibility?
Provide the equipment manufacturer and model, port type, hardware revision and software release, together with the required OEM reference, length and quantity. Breakout projects should also identify the intended lane configuration.
