QSFP28 to SFP28 Adapter Module offers 25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP28)-only platforms. It allows smooth and cost-effective migration to 100 Gigabit Ethernet by providing an option to use lower-speed Enhanced Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP28) modules in empty QSFP28 ports or when the other end of thenetwork is running at lower speeds.

The CVR-100_QP28-SP28 interoperates with all major optical modules and direct attached copper cable vendors. Its design assures minimum loss on the conversion path between the QSFP28 cage and the SFP28 receptacle. The high-speed data channel of the SFP28 receptacle is connected to lane 1 of the QSFP28 connector. The three remaining channels on the QSFP28 connector are not connected. With this adapter, customers have the flexibility to use any SFP28 module or cable to connect to a lower-speed port on the other end of the network.This adapter supports all SFP28 optics and cable reaches and is compatible switch models and SFP28 modules.

The CVR-100_QP28-SP28 is qualified for SFP28 transceivers meeting the Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver Multi-Source Agreement (MSA).The module provides a solution for integrating systems using different vendors ‘equipment, is vendor agnostic and provides a direct path to the SFP28 port unit’s memory.
