Key Features
- 100G QSFP28 to 4 x 25G SFP28 breakout
- 5 m cable length
- Passive direct attach construction
- Designed for high-density switching environments
- Supports QSFP28 and SFP28 port architectures
- Optimized for short-range fan-out deployments
- Break one 100G uplink into four 25G connections using QSFP28 to 4 x SFP28 fan-out
- Preserve short-range signal paths with a 5 m passive direct attach design
Turn one high-speed uplink into four usable 25G paths with the Fortinet FN-CABLE-QSFP28-4SFP28-5. This 5 m passive direct attach breakout cable is designed for environments that need efficient port fan-out without adding the cost, power draw, or management burden of separate transceivers.
The cable supports a 100G QSFP28 to 4 x 25G SFP28 breakout topology, making it a strong fit for leaf-spine fabrics, aggregation layers, and other switching designs where port density and predictable cabling are critical. The 5 m length gives teams enough reach for rack-to-rack or adjacent-row connections while staying short enough to preserve orderly routing and airflow.
For infrastructure teams standardizing on Fortinet networking gear, this cable helps simplify deployment planning. It is a focused interconnect for a specific job: converting one high-speed port into four downstream links with a passive, production-ready cable path. That specificity is what makes it valuable in high-density environments where every port and every inch of cable matters.
Ideal For
- Fan out a 100G switch port to four 25G access links
- Connect aggregation switches to multiple downstream servers
- Build leaf-spine cabling with controlled short-run breakout paths
- Replace multiple optic modules with a single breakout cable
Why This Product
- 1Breaks out one 100G port into four 25G links
- 25 m reach supports rack-to-rack planning
- 3Passive design reduces transceiver overhead
- 4Better suited to port fan-out than single-link DACs
