Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 100GbE QSFP breakout cable used for?
A 100GbE QSFP breakout AOC splits a single 100-gigabit connection into four 25-gigabit ports, enabling network architects to scale port density without replacing core infrastructure. This is essential for data centers transitioning from 100GbE trunk aggregation to distributed 25GbE access layers.
How does an active optical cable differ from passive DAC?
Active optical cables integrate signal conditioning electronics, allowing longer reach (10+ meters) compared to passive direct-attach copper cables (typically 3-5 meters). The Accu-Tech 10M AOC provides superior performance over extended distances with lower power consumption than electrical alternatives.
Is this QSFP to 4x25GbE SFP cable hot-swappable?
Yes, the individual SFP28 connectors on the breakout end are hot-swappable, allowing you to connect or disconnect ports without powering down the system. The QSFP28 source connector also supports hot-swap operation for seamless network reconfiguration.
What data center equipment is compatible with this 100GbE breakout cable?
This QSFP to 4x25GbE SFP active optical cable works with any switch, NIC, or networking appliance featuring QSFP28 and SFP28 ports. Common platforms include Cisco Nexus, Arista EOS, Mellanox/NVIDIA, and Juniper QFX series switches supporting 100GbE and 25GbE line rates.
