BlueOptics Compatible Check Point QSFP28-4SFP28-DAC-1M BlueLAN Passive 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 to 4x25GBASE-CR SFP28 Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 1 Meter, AWG26

The BlueOptics Q28-4S28-DAC-1M-CP-BL is a high-performance passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) breakout cable designed for Check Point networking equipment. It provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for high-speed data center interconnects, enabling 100 Gbps aggregate throughput from a single QSFP28 port to four independent 25 Gbps SFP28 links.

Advantages

This cable offers significant advantages over traditional fiber optic transceivers and cabling. It consumes less power, has lower latency, and is more cost-effective for short-reach applications. The passive design ensures zero power consumption, while the breakout configuration maximizes port utilization and simplifies cable management.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack to server connections
