Description
The 100G QSFP28 Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cable is a high-speed, cost-efficient solution designed for short-range data transmission in modern data centers and high-performance computing environments. Featuring a 30AWG twinax copper construction, this passive cable supports data rates up to 100Gbps while maintaining low latency and minimal power consumption. With a length of 2 meters, it is ideal for interconnecting switches, servers, and storage systems within racks or between adjacent racks.
This QSFP28 DAC cable is engineered for seamless compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment that complies with industry standards and MSA specifications. Its integrated QSFP28 connectors eliminate the need for separate optical transceivers, simplifying deployment and reducing overall infrastructure costs. The passive design ensures efficient operation without additional power requirements, making it an energy-saving choice for high-density environments.
Built with high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes, the cable ensures excellent signal integrity and electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. Its durable construction supports long-term reliability, even in demanding network conditions where consistent high-speed performance is critical.
