The QSFP28 to SFP28 Adapter (QSA) Module offers 25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP28)-only platforms. It allows smooth and cost-effective migration to 100 Gigabit Ethernet by providing an option to use lower-speed Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP28) modules in empty QSFP28 ports or when the other end of the network is running at lower speeds. Features Trouble-free installation and network bring-up Compliant to industry standards: SFF-8665 Compliant to industry standards: SFF-8432 Precision process control for minimization of pair-to-pair skew 1 independent duplex channels operating at 25Gbps data rates All-metal housing for superior EMI performance 100ohm differential impedance system Operating case temperature: -20 to 85 Low insertion loss Low crosstalk Secure latching mechanism RoHS compliant with RoHS Single 3.3V power supply Applications Low EMI radiation Switches, servers and routers Telecommunication and wireless infrastructure Test and measurement equipment Networked storage systems Data Center networks Storage area networks
【Wide Compatibility】This adapter supports all SFP28 optics and cable (except Cisco and Mellanox) reaches, such as SFP28-SR, SFP28-LR, SFP28 Passive Copper Cable and SFP28 Active Optical Cable. I2C read port information comes from SFP28 port module, not QSA Module.
【Smooth Speed Migration】QSA adapter Module offers 25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for QSFP28-only platforms. It allows smooth and cost-effective migration to 100 Gigabit Ethernet by providing an option to use lower-speed.
【Convenient and Flexible Use】With QSA adapter, you can flexibly use any SFP28 module or cable to connect to a lower-speed port on the other end of the network with low insertion loss and crosstalk. Plug and play, without any setup.[Note: This module can only reach 10G rate when used on Mellanox equipment, not 25G.]
【QSA vs QSFP28 Breakout Cable】Not all the 100G cards and switches can be split into 4 x 25 Gb mode, for example, the Mellanox QSFP28 cards do not support the QSFP28 to SFP28 breakout, but they support QSA. And QSA can be used for longer transmission distances than QSFP28 Breakout Cable.
【What You Get】1x cost-effective QSFP28 to SFP28 QSA adapter. is a manufacturer of DAC/Transceiver/AOC/NIC/Media Converter, customized service also is available.
