100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 4x 25G SFP28 25G NRZ Passive Breakout DAC, 0.5m (2ft)
The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 4x 25G SFP28 25G NRZ Passive Breakout DAC, 0.5m (2ft) provides a 100Gbps copper connection between QSFP28 to SFP28 ports with a cable length of 0.5m (2ft). As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. Direct attach copper keeps both latency and power consumption to a minimum, which makes it the economical choice for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks.

Applications
The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ to 4x 25G SFP28 25G NRZ Passive Breakout DAC, 0.5m (2ft) connects QSFP28 to SFP28 ports at 100Gbps in 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. This unit is delivered in 8 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 5m (16ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. For networks standardized on Cisco hardware, it is a drop-in equivalent of the QSFP-4SFP25G-CU50CM.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with IEEE 802.3, QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8665. It is interoperable with Cisco equipment and serves as a direct equivalent to the Cisco part number QSFP-4SFP25G-CU50CM.
Ordering Information
Part numbers change with length, for example QSFP-100G-4SPC005 at the shortest length. We make this cable in 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 2.5m (8ft), 3m (10ft), 3.5m (11ft) and 5m (16ft). Special lengths outside this range can be produced to order. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
How We Ship
Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.
Tested Before Shipment
We do not ship untested stock. Each transceiver and cable is powered up in our test racks, checked for link stability, transmit power, receiver sensitivity and diagnostic readouts, and only then packed for delivery. This factory-level testing is one reason network integrators keep reordering from us year after year.
Packaging
Each unit is sealed in an anti-static bag, cushioned in a blister tray and boxed in an export-grade carton. Outer cartons carry handling marks and can be palletized for air or sea freight. If your project requires retail boxes, barcodes or your own brand on the label, we can arrange that as well.
Factory Custom Capability
Working directly with the manufacturer means no middleman limits. We support OEM and ODM projects, custom cable assemblies, alternative packaging and compatibility coding for major equipment vendors, with engineering support from the same team that designs our standard products.
