FAQ

What is a 100G QSFP28 to 4x25G SFP28 AOC cable?
This Active Optical Cable has two different connectors, a single QSFP28 connector on one end and four SFP28 connectors on the other. This allows you to connect a 100GbE device to four 25GbE devices.

Can this AOC manage high bandwidth needs?
This AOC supports 100Gbps QSFP28 data rates and four 25Gbps SFP28 channels, enabling high-bandwidth connectivity for network applications.

How would this AOC alter my data center layout?
More flexible connections by 100G QSFP28 to 4x25G SFP28 cable. Using a high-bandwidth switch to connect multiple devices, instead of individual 25GbE cables may save space.

Does this AOC come in different lengths?
We provide this AOC in 1, 3, or 5 meters, depending on your needs.
