- Simplify short-reach connectivity with a 1 m cable length for in-rack deployments
Move 100 GbE traffic into four 25 GbE paths without adding optical modules or extra complexity. Fortinet FN-CABLE-QSFP28-4SFP28-1 is a 1 m passive direct attach breakout cable designed for QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 connectivity in systems that support QSFP28/QSFP+ and SFP28/SFP+ slots.
This cable is a practical fit for short-reach, high-density deployments where predictable signal paths matter more than distance. The passive design reduces component count, while the included transceivers help simplify deployment planning across compatible ports. With an operating range of -40 C to 85 C, it is suited to demanding network environments that require stable interconnects inside the rack.
For teams standardizing on 25 GbE server links from a 100 GbE aggregation layer, this breakout cable offers a clean way to scale port utilization without paying for optics where copper is enough. It is a focused choice for infrastructure builds that value direct connectivity, fewer points of failure, and straightforward cable management.
Ideal For
- Connect a 100 GbE switch uplink to four 25 GbE server or appliance ports
- Build short-reach rack interconnects in high-density data center cabinets
- Standardize breakout cabling for leaf-spine network access layers
- Replace multiple optical components with a direct attach copper link
Why This Product
- 1Passive copper breakout instead of optical transceivers
- 21 m length for in-rack connectivity
- 3QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 for port fan-out
- 4Included transceivers reduce deployment friction
