Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100GBASE-AOC QSFP28 breakout cable used for?
A 100GBASE-AOC QSFP28 breakout cable splits a single 100Gbps QSFP28 port into four 25Gbps SFP28 connections, enabling flexible port aggregation and network segmentation in data center architectures without requiring additional switching hardware.
Is this QSFP28 to SFP28 cable compatible with my network switch?
Yes, this cable is verified compatible with Arista and Intel switching platforms. Compatibility extends to any switch supporting standard 100GBASE-AOC and 25GBASE-AOC protocols. Consult your switch documentation or contact support to confirm specific model compatibility.
How does active optical cable technology improve data center performance?
Active optical cables integrate signal conditioning and amplification, reducing signal degradation over longer distances. This enables reliable 100Gbps transmission with lower latency and power consumption compared to passive copper alternatives, making them ideal for high-density data center environments.
