QSFP-4SFP25G-AOC15M-AX - Cisco-Compatible 100GBase-AOC QSFP28 to 4×SFP28 Breakout Cable | 15 Meter

The AxiomQSFP-4SFP25G-AOC15M-AX is a flexible 100 Gigabit Active Optical Cable (AOC) solution offering Cisco-compatible breakout functionality. Featuring a QSFP28 connector on one end that splits into four ISO-conformant SFP28 connectors, this cable delivers 4×25 Gbps lanes over a 15-meter multimode fiber run. Designed for heterogeneous data center fabrics, it supports 100GBase-AOC and is pre-programmed for seamless Cisco OEM interoperability×eliminating firmware mismatch or port disabling issues while ensuring consistent multi-vendor compatibility. Perfect for applications like switch-to-server aggregation, 4-port consolidation, and breakout backbone links.

Features

This breakout AOC integrates embedded QSFP28 optical transceivers and fiber routing to support independent 25 Gbps SFP28 channels, delivering up to 100 Gbps aggregate throughput. Built to MSA and IEEE 802.3 standards, the cable combines 850 nm multimode VCSEL optics with factory-encoded EEPROM compliance. Each cable is programmed for Cisco platform acceptance, ensuring plug-and-play operation without configuration changes.

Advanced Options

At 15 meters, the cable exceeds passive DAC range, providing optic-level signal integrity and minimal electromagnetic interference (EMI). The slim, lightweight LSZH jacket supports better airflow and denser installations. Axiomemploys full functional testing×eye-diagram, BER, and power-margin validation×ensuring enterprise-grade performance across supported switches and NICs. Its DDM/DOM-reporting capability enables administrators to monitor optical power, temperature, and link health in real-time.

Reliability & Performance

Designed for resilient, high-density deployment, the AxiomQSFP-4SFP25G-AOC15M-AX provides reliable 100 Gbps connectivity over 15 m with consistent low-latency and optical integrity. Its breakout design consolidates four independent 25 Gbps SFP28 interfaces, enabling flexible cabling topologies such as server aggregation or uplink multiplexing. Made for dense switch-to-switch or server clusters, the AOC supports in-field hot-swapping and is tested to operate across 0 °C to 70 °C environments. Cable construction minimizes bulk, improving airflow and rack clearing. Real-time diagnostics (via DDM/DOM) help track performance metrics and preemptively detect issues. By eliminating separate transceivers, this cable reduces both cost and deployment complexity while ensuring consistent vendor-level compatibility in Cisco-based deployments.
