Does the Q100-Q100-A provide a direct 100G connection, or does it divide the link into lower-speed branches?

It provides a direct 100G connection. The Q100-Q100-A is a straight-through QSFP28-to-QSFP28, four-channel full-duplex AOC and does not split the link into separate 25G branches.

Which Ethernet and InfiniBand operating modes are supported by the Q100-Q100-A between compatible QSFP28 ports?

100 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand EDR. The Q100-Q100-A operates as a 100Gb/s QSFP28 link, and its Ethernet implementation is compliant with IEEE 802.3bj.

What end-to-end connection distances can be ordered for the Q100-Q100-A active optical cable?

From 1m to 100m. The Q100-Q100-A is supplied as an integrated active optical cable with QSFP28 ends, so the selected length forms the complete fixed cable assembly.

Can the Q100-Q100-A connect SB7800 or SB7890 switches to MCX556A-ECAT or MCX653106A-HDAT adapters?

Yes. The Q100-Q100-A is designed for these NVIDIA/Mellanox platforms and other supported network devices operating through compatible 100G QSFP28 connections. The SB7800 and SB7890 provide 100Gb/s EDR QSFP28 ports, while the listed adapters support relevant 100G operating modes.

Can the Q100-Q100-A be inserted or replaced while compatible network equipment remains powered?

Yes. The Q100-Q100-A uses a hot-pluggable QSFP28 form factor, allowing installation or replacement without shutting down compatible equipment when the host platform’s standard hot-plug procedure is followed.

Which operating parameters and fault conditions can the Q100-Q100-A report through its QSFP28 management interface?

It reports module status, LOS and Tx-fault alarms, internal temperature, supply voltage, receive optical power, transmit bias current, and transmit optical power through the QSFP28 management memory map.

What power and operating-temperature limits apply when deploying the Q100-Q100-A?

It uses a single +3.3V power supply, has maximum power dissipation of no more than 2.2W, and supports an operating case-temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
