Key specifications

How to use

Identify QSFP28 ports on the two devices to be connected, ensure both devices support passive direct-attach QSFP28 cabling for the intended protocol and power state, and insert each QSFP28 connector firmly into the corresponding port until the latch engages. Verify link status in the host devices and consult device documentation for any platform-specific configuration required for 100G operation. For removal, disengage the connector latch before pulling the cable to avoid port damage.

Recommendations

Use this 2m QSFP28 direct-attach cable for short, rack-based 100G connections where passive twinax-style cabling is supported. Confirm compatibility with the specific switch, router or server model and verify that the platform permits passive QSFP28 direct-attach cables for the desired protocol to ensure proper link negotiation and performance.
