Specifications

Applications and Deployment

Active copper assemblies add signal conditioning while retaining the convenience of a direct-attached cable. They are appropriate where the equipment supports the stated active-cable type and the route exceeds the practical limits of a comparable passive assembly. Per-end power, airflow and host qualification should be assessed before high-density deployment. For this series, the listed interface is QSFP28 to QSFP28 and the aggregate rate is 100G. The stated application is 100G Ethernet.

Juniper Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing

Verification covers the physical connectors, expected host identity and an operating link with available diagnostic indications. We distinguish this complete check from a simple continuity test. Platform model and software release can be reviewed in advance where the installation has strict documentation or change-control requirements. Series-level inspection is followed by the exact length and OEM configuration selected for dispatch. Functional verification includes link establishment and diagnostic indications where the host exposes them.

Cable Construction and Routing

For this assembly, the conductor specification is 30AWG; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR); the minimum bend radius is 27.5mm; the operating temperature is 0 to 70℃ (32 to 158°F); the power consumption is ≤1.5W. These parameters belong in the installation review rather than being treated as catalogue trivia. Route the cable through its intended managers without tension, avoid pressure close to the connector boots and leave enough space to operate the latches. Any service loop must respect the stated bend limit.

Structured Pathways and Serviceability

Treat the direct-attach assembly as part of the permanent pathway plan even when the link is expected to be temporary. Follow the intended horizontal and vertical managers, maintain the specified bend radius and leave service access around both ports. A small, supported service allowance is preferable to excess slack concealed inside a rack or placed under cable-tie pressure. For this series, keep the interface rate, ACC construction and length-specific OEM reference together throughout that review.

Ordering Information

Include the part number, fixed length, quantity and required pathway or rack grouping in the order information. The host model and firmware release are useful for change-controlled deployments. Different lengths should remain separate order lines so delivered labels and packing records agree with the pathway plan. For this series, follow the corresponding length link, quote that exact OEM part number and keep different lengths on separate order lines. HT part number QSFP-100G-2QAC identifies the product family; the linked page provides the final length-specific identity.

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

After connector inspection and link verification, the assembly is coiled without tight bends and packed with end protection. Labels can cross-reference the customer cable schedule, OEM part number and length. This supports both receiving checks and later moves, adds or changes. Both connector ends are inspected as part of the complete assembly, and protective packing is selected to avoid tight bends during transport and storage.
