100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Active DAC, 1m (3ft)

The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Active DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a 100Gbps copper connection between QSFP28 to QSFP28 ports with a cable length of 1m (3ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. Direct attach copper keeps both latency and power consumption to a minimum, which makes it the economical choice for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks.

Applications
The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Active DAC, 1m (3ft) is a 100Gbps active copper cable for QSFP28 to QSFP28 connections in 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. This unit is made in 3 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 5m (16ft). It installs directly into standard ports with no separate transceivers or patch cords to manage at either end. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request. The link runs 4x 25G-NRZ to 4x 25G-NRZ modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 100G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
Standards compliance covers QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8665. 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
The part number for this assembly is QSFP-100G-AC01. We offer this cable in 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft) and 5m (16ft). Other lengths can be custom manufactured on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG.
Delivery
Goods are normally sent by courier such as DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS; air and sea freight are also available on request. Commonly used items are kept in stock for immediate shipment, and out-of-stock items are usually delivered within a few working days. We can also ship on your courier account or hand goods to your appointed forwarder.
Our Testing Process
Production samples and every outgoing batch pass through bit-error-rate measurement, temperature verification and plug-in compatibility checks on mainstream switches and routers. Because we are the manufacturer, any issue found in testing is fed back to the production line immediately instead of being passed on to customers.
How We Pack
Transceivers and cables are individually protected against static and dust, then consolidated into sturdy cartons suitable for international courier shipment. For larger orders we shrink-wrap and strap cartons onto pallets. Tell us your warehouse or retail requirements and we will pack accordingly.
Custom-made Fiber Products
As a manufacturer serving the fiber optic industry since 1995, we have strong in-house manufacturing and design capability. From early GBIC, Xenpak and X2 modules to today's SFP, SFP+, QSFP, QSFP-DD and OSFP products, we grow together with the industry. OEM and custom-designed transceivers and cables are welcome, and our factory-direct pricing is very competitive compared with online retail stores.
