BlueOptics 100G QSFP28 Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable 1m

The BlueOptics 100G-QSFP-QSFP-P-1M-BL is a high-performance, passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) applications. It provides a cost-effective and low-power solution for short-reach interconnects within data centers, connecting QSFP28 ports on switches, servers, and storage equipment.

Advantages

This DAC cable offers ultra-low power consumption (<0.5W per end), eliminating the need for optical transceivers and reducing overall system power. Its passive twinax design ensures reliable signal integrity over 1 meter, with hot-pluggable QSFP28 connectors for easy installation and maintenance. The cable is fully compliant with QSFP28 MSA and IEEE 802.3bj standards, guaranteeing interoperability with compatible equipment.
