100G QSFP28 breakout cable

The Axiom AOC-QSFP-4SFP28-25G-15M-AX is a 100G QSFP28 to four 25G SFP28 active optical cable built for high-density switch uplinks. It suits data-centre operators who need to split a single 100G port into four independent 25G links. The fifteen metre reach covers row-to-row connections without intermediate patch panels. Buyers who require a single 100G endpoint or longer reach should consider other form factors.

QSFP28 to SFP28 connector layout

The QSFP28 end plugs into a 100G switch port while the four SFP28 tails connect to 25G servers or leaf switches. Active optical construction removes the bulk and bend-radius limits of copper direct-attach cables at this length. Each tail is fixed to the cable assembly, so port mapping is set at install time. Installers who need field-replaceable transceivers or patch-panel flexibility will find this fixed breakout unsuitable.

Limited lifetime warranty included

A limited lifetime warranty backs the cable against defects for the duration of ownership. Dell-coded compatibility markings simplify acceptance in qualified Dell networking environments. No separate transceivers or fibre patch cords are required, reducing part count and insertion-loss points. Teams without Dell hardware or who prefer multi-vendor coded optics should verify switch acceptance policies before deployment.
