Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QSFP28 to SFP28 breakout cable used for?
A QSFP28 to SFP28 breakout cable allows you to split a single 100 Gb/s QSFP28 port into four 25 Gb/s SFP28 connections. This is ideal for maximizing port utilization and connecting multiple devices from a single high-speed interface in data centers and enterprise networks.
Is this 100GBASE-AOC cable compatible with my HPE or Mellanox switch?
Yes, this ENET cable is specifically designed for HPE and Mellanox compatibility. It supports standard 100GBASE-AOC specifications and integrates seamlessly with both manufacturers' networking equipment, ensuring reliable performance in mixed-vendor environments.
What are the advantages of active optical breakout cables?
Active optical breakout cables deliver superior performance over passive alternatives by providing signal amplification, lower latency, and better signal integrity over longer distances. The 100GBASE-AOC active optical design ensures consistent 100 Gb/s throughput with minimal power consumption.
Can I use this 1-meter cable for longer distances?
This cable is optimized for 1-meter deployments typical in rack-level connectivity. For longer distances, consider ENET's extended-length active optical solutions designed to maintain signal quality and performance over greater spans.
