MFA7A50-C003

This Lenovo active optical breakout cable splits a single 100Gbps connection into four separate 25Gbps channels, allowing for efficient data distribution. It's commonly used in data centers and enterprise networks to link high-speed switches or servers where multiple 25Gbps ports are needed from one 100Gbps uplink.

Often found in modern networking setups, it suits IT professionals managing large-scale infrastructures requiring high bandwidth and reliability. The 3-meter length offers flexible routing without sacrificing signal integrity.

Key Features

• Breaks out one 100Gbps link into four 25Gbps lanes for versatile connectivity
• Active optical design ensures signal quality over longer distances compared to copper
• Compatible with Lenovo switches and servers supporting QSFP28 and SFP28 standards
• Lightweight and flexible cable eases installation in tight rack spaces
• Low power consumption suitable for dense data center environments

This cable is typically deployed within data centers to connect aggregation switches to top-of-rack switches or directly to servers. It helps optimize network architecture by consolidating ports while maintaining high throughput.

By enabling multiple 25Gbps links from a single 100Gbps port, it reduces the need for additional hardware and cabling, simplifying setup and maintenance.
