BlueLAN Compatible Amphenol NDAAFJ-0005 QSFP28 Direct Attach Copper Cable, 100GBASE-CR4, InfiniBand EDR, 30AWG, 2 Meter (NDAAFJ-0005-BL)

The BlueLAN NDAAFJ-0005-BL is a high-performance QSFP28 Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand EDR applications. This passive copper cable provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for short-range interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing environments. It is fully compatible with Amphenol NDAAFJ-0005 equipment and meets the stringent requirements of modern network infrastructure.

Advantages

This DAC cable offers significant advantages over active optical cables and transceivers: lower power consumption, reduced latency, and a lower total cost of ownership. The 30 AWG construction ensures flexibility while maintaining signal integrity over the 2-meter length. It is hot-pluggable and supports the SFF-8665 standard, making it easy to deploy and maintain.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack to server connections
• High-performance computing clusters
• Storage area networks (SAN)
• Enterprise network core and aggregation layers
• InfiniBand EDR environments
