Product Description

This Lenovo breakout cable converts a single 100Gbps connection into four separate 25Gbps links, making it ideal for network setups requiring high-density connectivity. Often found in data centers and enterprise environments, it helps maximize port utilization without sacrificing speed.

Built for IT professionals managing complex network infrastructures, this cable supports active optical transmission to maintain signal quality over longer distances, reducing the limitations commonly faced with copper alternatives.

Key Features

  • Enables efficient port splitting from one 100Gb to four 25Gb links
  • Uses active optical components to ensure reliable data transfer over 10 meters
  • Designed to meet Lenovo's hardware compatibility standards
  • Reduces cable clutter and simplifies network topology
  • Supports high-speed data traffic typical in modern server and switch environments

It's typically deployed inside racks or between switch stacks within data centers, where flexible and fast link aggregation is needed. The cable plays a practical role in streamlining network upgrades or expansions without requiring extensive hardware changes.


Use Cases

The Lenovo 100Gb to 4x 25Gb 10m Active Optical Breakout Cable is primarily utilized in data center environments where high-density port configurations and flexible bandwidth allocation are critical. Network engineers and IT administrators working with Lenovo infrastructure benefit from its ability to efficiently segment a single 100Gb connection into multiple 25Gb links, facilitating optimized traffic management and hardware utilization.

How It's Used:

  • Aggregating multiple 25Gb server connections in virtualization clusters within enterprise data centers.
  • Enabling scalable uplinks in storage area networks (SANs) where bandwidth partitioning improves throughput consistency.
  • Supporting dense rack deployments by transforming limited 100Gb switch ports into multiple 25Gb endpoints for edge computing nodes.
  • Facilitating high-speed interconnects in cloud service provider networks requiring flexible breakout options for workload segmentation.
  • Allowing SMB IT environments to extend their network reach with active optical technology while maintaining compatibility with Lenovo hardware.

This breakout cable streamlines network architecture by providing scalable bandwidth division and extended reach, improving operational efficiency in complex deployments. It supports diverse workload demands by enabling adaptable port density and link segregation without sacrificing performance.
