Finisar FCBN425QE1C03 OR 100G QUADWIRE QSFP28 ACTIVE OPTICAL CABLE

Description:

The Finisar FCBN425QE1C03 100G Quad-wire QSFP28 Active Optical Cable is used in high-speed data center and enterprise networking systems to provide full-duplex 100GbE connectivity between QSFP28 ports. Commonly installed in switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, and top-of-rack interconnect environments where high-bandwidth, low-latency optical transmission is required. Maintenance teams, network engineers, and system integrators use this cable for network deployment, infrastructure upgrades, and replacement of existing high-speed interconnect links in data center architectures.

Applications:

The Finisar FCBN425QE1C03 is commonly used in data center networking, high-performance computing clusters, enterprise core switching, cloud infrastructure, and storage area networks where 100G Ethernet connectivity is required for high-throughput data transfer, low-latency communication, and scalable rack-to-rack or intra-rack interconnectivity.
