1-Meter QSFP28 Active Optical Cable Connects High-End Network Equipment up to 100 Gbps

Tripp Lite’s N28H-01M-AQ QSFP28 fiber cable (M/M) combines four full-duplex 25 Gbps SFP channels into one affordable high-density package to deliver next-generation performance. The male connectors feature four independent 850 nm VCSEL-based transmitters and four independent receivers using PIN photo detectors, with each lane capable of data transfer speeds up to 25 Gbps. Together, this active optical cable (AOC) provides an aggregated speed up to 100 Gbps, making it ideal for switches, servers, routers and other high-end networking devices in your data center or enterprise wiring closet.

Make Fast, Easy One-Handed Connections with Innovative Push/Pull Tabs

The hot-pluggable QSFP28 connectors include ergonomic push/pull tabs, which are easily accessible in high-density applications and make the cable easy to install and remove with just one hand.

T ypical Applications

• 25GBASE-SR and 100GBASE-SR4 Ethernet
• InfiniBand EDR (4x25G) and QDR (4x10G) with CDR turned off
• High-speed parallel interconnects for high-performance computing (HPC) and data center interconnects (DCI)
• Connect active network equipment in high-end server rooms or enterprise wiring closets

Plenum-Rated Cable Comes Engineered and Optimized for Bandwidth-Intense Applications

This QSFP28 to QSFP28 cable integrates a 100 Gbps Ethernet-optimized 38-position “board as connector” design. The plenum-rated OFNP jacket is designed for connecting network components in drop ceiling, walls and ducts. Die-cast zinc connectors are tested to meet stringent insertion loss standards, offer superior EMI resistance and reduce crosstalk. The QSFP28 optical cable is suitable for high-speed, short-reach dense data connections, such as 100GBASE-SR4 Ethernet, PCIe, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand applications.
