BlueLAN 980-9I54G-00V003-BL Compatible BlueOptics QSFP56 Direct Attach Cable, 3m, 200Gbps, Passive Copper Twinax

High-density data centers need reliable, low-latency connections between switches, servers, and storage. This BlueLAN-compatible QSFP56 direct attach cable delivers 200 Gbps over 3 meters of passive copper twinax, eliminating the cost and complexity of separate transceivers and fiber. It is engineered for short-reach interconnects where signal integrity and power efficiency are critical.
