High-Bandwidth Interconnects
100G, 200G & 400G Solutions for AI, HPC & Data Centers
In the era of explosive AI growth, high-bandwidth networking is no longer optional—it's essential. Whether you're scaling GPU clusters for LLM training, upgrading hyperscale data centers, or building low-latency InfiniBand/Ethernet fabrics, reliable 100G+, 200G, and 400G interconnects deliver the performance you need without breaking the budget.
At ShopITgear, we specialize in refurbished and new high-bandwidth optics and cables from trusted brands like Cisco, NVIDIA/Mellanox, and Arista. Save 70-90% vs. new MSRP while getting fully tested gear backed by our lifetime warranty, same-day shipping, and expert support. No big-distributor hassles—just fast, personalized service for IT pros who know what they need.
Why Choose Refurbished High-Bandwidth Interconnects?
- Massive Cost Savings: Enterprise-grade 400G QSFP-DD transceivers and breakout cables at a fraction of OEM prices—perfect for budget-conscious AI builds and data center expansions.
- Proven Reliability: Every item is rigorously tested in real-world environments, with detailed certification reports available.
- Fast Deployment: Stocked for immediate shipping; ideal for time-sensitive AI cluster rollouts or network upgrades.
- Eco-Friendly: Extend the life of premium hardware from decommissioned hyperscalers, reducing e-waste without sacrificing performance.
Our High-Bandwidth Categories
- 100G Interconnects: QSFP28 transceivers (SR4, LR4, BiDi), DAC copper cables (1-5m), and AOCs—great for transitioning from 40G to modern AI-ready networks.
- 200G Interconnects: QSFP56 DACs and AOCs (NVIDIA/Mellanox LinkX compatible)—optimal for mid-scale GPU nodes and high-throughput storage.
- 400G Interconnects: The future of AI networking. QSFP-DD and OSFP transceivers (SR8, DR4), breakout DAC/AOCs (400G to 4x100G or 2x200G), and direct-attach cables—designed for NVIDIA H100/B200 clusters and beyond.
Ideal Use Cases
- AI & Machine Learning Clusters: Low-latency, high-bandwidth links for multi-node training (e.g., NVIDIA DGX/HGX systems).
- Hyperscale Data Centers: Dense, power-efficient optics for spine-leaf architectures.
- High-Performance Computing (HPC): InfiniBand or Ethernet fabrics for research and simulation workloads.
- Hybrid Upgrades: Breakout cables to bridge legacy 100G gear with new 400G infrastructure.
