100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ AOC, 0.5m (2ft)
The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ AOC, 0.5m (2ft) is an active optical cable assembly with QSFP28 to QSFP28, carrying 100Gbps over OM3 multimode at 850nm. Factory terminated and tested as a complete link, it offers a lighter and more flexible alternative to discrete transceivers with patch cords for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. Length options run from 0.5m (2ft) to 30m (98ft) as standard.

Applications
In 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ AOC, 0.5m (2ft) provides a factory terminated 100Gbps link between QSFP28 to QSFP28 ports. This unit is made in 11 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 30m (98ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. For networks standardized on Cisco hardware, it is a drop-in equivalent of the QSFP-100G-AOC50CM.
Standards and Compatibility
On the compatibility side, this unit is the practical equivalent of the Cisco part QSFP-100G-AOC50CM and works in Cisco systems out of the box. Standards compliance covers IEEE 802.3 bm, SFF-8665.
Ordering Information
Part numbers differ by length, for example QSFP-100G-AO005 at the shortest length. We offer this cable in 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft) and 30m (98ft). Other lengths can be custom manufactured on request.
Built to Your Spec
Our product line has grown with the industry for three decades, from GBIC-era modules to today's 800G and 1.6T interconnects. If the exact configuration you need is not listed, we can usually build it: custom lengths, mixed connector breakouts, OEM branding and project-specific firmware coding are all supported.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard products are held in stock and usually ship within one to three working days. We dispatch worldwide by DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS, and for bulk orders we arrange air or sea freight. Shipments can also be sent collect on your own courier account or delivered to your freight forwarder.
Quality Assurance
Before any product leaves our factory it goes through optical performance testing, compatibility verification on real switch platforms and a final visual inspection. Our in-house test lab holds a wide range of current and legacy switches from major brands, so interoperability is proven on the actual equipment your network uses rather than assumed from paper specifications.
Package
Products are first packed into blister trays or self-sealed bags and then into cartons. Standard labels and marks are applied by default, and customized packing and labeling are available on request.
