Axiom

10443-AX 100GBASE-AOC QSFP28 to 4 × SFP28 Active Optical Cable

The Axiom10443-AX is a breakout-style 100GBASE Active Optical Cable (AOC) engineered to convert one QSFP28 link into four individual SFP28 ports. At a length of approximately 32.8 ft (10 m), this fiber-optic cable ensures high-density deployment and efficient coverage across multi-device setups. Its aqua-colored jacket stands out in cable management while maintaining flexibility. Compliant with MSA standards and OEM pre-programming, the cable performs identically to original manufacturer parts×ensuring compatibility across various platforms.

Features

Designed for network engineers and IT architects managing switch-to-server or switch-to-storage configurations, the breakout cable enables centralized high-speed 100 Gbps connectivity and versatility across multiple link endpoints.

Advanced Options

The Axiom10443-AX is ideal for high-density environments where consolidation or distribution of high-speed links is needed. Its active optical design minimizes EMI and maintains signal integrity across all four SFP28 outputs. With plug-and-play functionality and OEM-coded firmware, it eliminates compatibility concerns when used with switches, routers, or storage platforms.

Product Key Features

1. QSFP28 to 4× SFP28 active optical breakout design

2. Supports 100 Gbps data rate with fiber-optic transmission

3. 10 meter (32.8 ft) length with flexible aqua jacket
