How to use

Insert each QSFP28 connector into the appropriate QSFP28 port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the orientation latch engages. No additional configuration is typically required; the link should negotiate automatically once both ends are seated. Handle the cable by the connectors and avoid sharp bends—respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m QSFP28 DAC for short, fixed-length 100Gb links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Verify compatibility with your switch and server firmware when using vendor-coded cables and consult ACT technical support if interoperability questions arise.
