Siemon Q4S28F-Y18.0B13 100GbE Fiber Cable
Overview
The Siemon Q4S28F-Y18.0B13 is an 18-meter passive fiber optic cable assembly designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) connections using the QSFP28 form factor. This cable is engineered for short-reach, high-bandwidth data center applications where direct, reliable interconnects between network equipment are critical. Its passive nature means it requires no external power, simplifying deployment and reducing potential points of failure in high-density environments.
Compatibility
This QSFP28 cable is compatible with any network switch, server, or network interface card (NIC) equipped with standard QSFP28 ports. It is suitable for interconnecting devices within the same rack or adjacent racks in enterprise data centers and high-performance computing clusters. Ensure your network equipment supports 100GbE speeds and QSFP28 transceivers for full functionality.
Installation Notes
The Q4S28F-Y18.0B13 utilizes standard QSFP28 connectors, which are hot-pluggable. Ensure the ports on your network equipment are clean before insertion. The 18-meter length provides flexibility for intra-rack or inter-rack connections without excessive cable slack. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the cable's minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity.
