The Extreme Networks QSFP28 to SFP28 Adapter provides a simple yet powerful solution for converting a single QSFP28 port into a usable SFP28 port, allowing the integration of 25G SFP28 transceivers into QSFP28-based hardware. This adapter is ideal for network operators and data centers aiming to maximize port flexibility while minimizing infrastructure investment. Designed for hot-swappable use, it enables plug-and-play integration without requiring additional software or configuration. It supports a single 25Gbps NRZ lane, maintaining high signal integrity and performance for short-reach or inter-rack connections.
This adapter is especially useful for test environments, hybrid network deployments, or gradual hardware transitions between 25G and 100G gear. Compatible with a wide range of SFP28 modules and cables, the QSFP28-SFP28 adapter offers seamless compatibility and interoperability, empowering operators to optimize port utilization and scale efficiently. Its durable construction and low-power operation make it ideal for demanding enterprise, carrier, and cloud-scale environments.
