BLUEOPTICS Compatible Dell EMC DAC-QSFP-4SFP28-25G-1M BlueLAN Passive 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 to 4x25GBASE-CR SFP28 Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 1M, AWG26 (DAC-QSFP-4SFP28-25G-1M-BL)

The BLUEOPTICS Compatible Dell EMC DAC-QSFP-4SFP28-25G-1M is a high-performance passive direct attach breakout cable designed for demanding data center environments. This BlueLAN cable enables seamless connectivity from a 100G QSFP28 port to four 25G SFP28 ports, providing a cost-effective and reliable solution for network aggregation and high-speed interconnects.

Advantages

This breakout cable offers significant advantages over using separate transceivers and fiber optic cabling. It provides a low-power, low-latency, and highly reliable connection with minimal signal loss. The passive copper design ensures energy efficiency and long-term durability, while the breakout configuration allows for flexible deployment in top-of-rack or end-of-row architectures.
