BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-4SFP-P-0201 Compatible BlueLAN QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Passive Direct Attach Copper Breakout Cable, 2m

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-4SFP-P-0201 is a high-performance, passive direct attach copper (DAC) breakout cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand EDR applications. This QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 breakout cable provides a cost-effective and low-power solution for high-speed data center interconnects, offering reliable connectivity for switches, routers, and servers. With a length of 2 meters and 30 AWG construction, it ensures excellent signal integrity and minimal latency.

Advantages

This BlueLAN compatible cable delivers aggregate data rates of 100 Gbps (4x 25 Gbps per lane) while consuming less than 0.5W of power. Its passive design eliminates the need for external power, reducing overall system energy consumption. The breakout configuration allows efficient fan-out from a single QSFP28 port to four SFP28 ports, maximizing port density and flexibility in network deployments.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack (ToR) to server connections
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• 100 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand EDR networks
• Network switches, routers, and network interface cards (NICs) with QSFP28 and SFP28 ports
