Description
The Eaton Tripp Lite N28H-01M-AQ is a high-performance QSFP28 to QSFP28 Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for ultra-fast 100Gb Ethernet connections in data centers and enterprise environments. This 1-meter multimode cable combines four full-duplex 25 Gbps lanes into a single compact assembly, delivering an aggregated bandwidth of up to 100 Gbps.
Engineered for bandwidth-intensive applications, the cable features precision zinc-alloy QSFP28 connectors with ergonomic push/pull tabs for effortless one-handed installation in high-density racks. Its active optical design reduces signal loss and electromagnetic interference while supporting short-reach, high-speed interconnects between switches, servers, routers, and storage equipment.
Fully compliant with QSFP28 MSA and IEEE 802.3bm standards, the N28H-01M-AQ ensures broad compatibility across modern networking platforms, making it an ideal solution for 100GBASE-SR4 Ethernet, InfiniBand, Fibre Channel, PCIe, and high-performance computing environments.
