Tripp Lite QSFP28 to QSFP28 Active Optical Cable, 100GbE, AOC, M/M, Aqua, 2M (6.56 ft.)

The Tripp Lite N28H-02M-AQ is an active optical cable designed to connect high-speed networking devices such as switches, servers, and routers. It supports data transfer rates up to 100Gbps by combining four full-duplex 25Gbps SFP lanes into a single cable. This makes it a reliable choice for environments that demand fast and stable connections, like data centers and enterprise networks.

Measuring two meters in length, this cable offers flexibility for setups where devices are close but require high bandwidth. The QSFP28 connectors include ergonomic push/pull tabs, which simplify installation and removal, especially in tight or crowded racks. The cable meets the latest QSFP28 Multi-Source Agreement and IEEE 802.3bm standards, ensuring broad compatibility with Ethernet, PCIe, Fibre Channel, and InfiniBand systems.

Its aqua-colored PVC jacket is plenum-rated, meaning it is safe for installation in ceiling spaces and air ducts where fire safety is a concern. The cable is also RoHS-compliant, reducing environmental impact while maintaining performance. This active optical cable is ideal for IT professionals and network engineers who need a dependable, high-speed connection in dense or complex network environments.
