BlueOptics Compatible Fortinet 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-FR-BL is a high-performance passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) breakout cable designed for seamless integration with Fortinet networking equipment. This cable converts a single QSFP28 port into four SFP28 ports, enabling 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over four 25 Gigabit lanes. Ideal for data center interconnects, server-to-switch, and switch-to-switch applications, it ensures reliable, low-latency transmission with minimal power consumption.

Advantages

Cost-effective and energy-efficient passive copper design eliminates the need for external power. Hot-pluggable QSFP28 and SFP28 connectors allow for easy installation and maintenance. The breakout configuration maximizes port density and flexibility in high-speed networks. Compliant with 100GBASE-CR4 and 25GBASE-CR standards, ensuring interoperability with Fortinet switches, routers, and firewalls.
