SKU CH-AW82-X60GZ

Splits a 100 Gbps QSFP28 port into four 28 Gbps SFP28 links over a 5 m passive copper cable for Brocade gear

  • 100 Gbps aggregate bandwidth via 4 × 28 Gbps lanes
  • Brocade-compatible QSFP28 breakout for mixed-port switches
  • Passive copper cable needs no external power
  • Five-metre reach suits rack-to-rack links

100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 breakout cable

This passive direct-attach copper cable splits a single 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 port into four SFP28 connections. It is built for Brocade-compatible equipment and spans five metres. The assembly targets network engineers who need short-reach 100 Gb/s aggregation without active optics or transceivers.

Passive copper reach and lane limits

The cable handles four independent 28 Gb/s lanes for an aggregate 100 Gb/s link across the full five-metre length. It runs out when the host port requires active equalisation, forward error correction not supported by the switch firmware, or distances beyond the passive copper specification.

Questions about this item

Will the QSFP28 end plug directly into the 100G port on my older Brocade switch?

Yes, the QSFP28 connector is built for 100GBASE-CR4 and matches the Brocade-compatible pinout used on legacy 100G ports.

How can I confirm each 28G lane is active after I connect the four SFP28 ends?

Check the switch port statistics; each SFP28 breakout should show a 28G link with rising packet counters and zero errors.
