Description
The 100G QSFP28 to 2×50G QSFP28 Active Optical Breakout Cable (AOC) is a high-speed optical interconnect designed to connect one 100G QSFP28 port to two independent 50G QSFP28 ports. Supporting up to 25.78125Gbps per optical lane and 100Gbps aggregate bandwidth, it provides an efficient breakout solution for network architectures that require a 100G uplink to connect with multiple 50G interfaces. Using multimode fiber and integrated optical components with a 3.3V single power supply, the cable supports reaches up to 70m over OM3 and 100m over OM4. Its integrated optical design eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cables, simplifying installation while providing reliable, low-power connectivity for data centers and high-density Ethernet networks.

FAQ
What is the breakout configuration?
The cable connects one 100G QSFP28 port to two independent 50G QSFP28 ports, allowing a single 100G interface to provide connectivity to two 50G network interfaces.
What transmission distances does it support?
The AOC supports up to 70m over OM3 multimode fiber and up to 100m over OM4 multimode fiber.
What is the maximum data rate per optical lane?
Each optical lane supports data rates up to 25.78125Gbps, with an aggregate bandwidth of up to 100Gbps on the 100G side.
Does the cable require separate optical transceivers?
No. The optical components are integrated into the cable assembly, eliminating the need for separate transceiver modules and additional patch cables.
Where is this AOC commonly used?
