BLUEOPTICS Compatible GIGABYTE QSFP28-DAC-2M BlueLAN SC282801L2M30 QSFP28 Direct Attach Cable, 100GBASE-CR4, Infiniband EDR, 30AWG, 2 Meter (QSFP28-DAC-2M-BL)

The BLUEOPTICS QSFP28-DAC-2M-BL is a high-performance direct attach copper cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand EDR applications. This 2-meter passive twinax cable provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for short-range interconnects within data centers and high-performance computing environments. Fully compatible with GIGABYTE equipment, it ensures reliable data transmission at 100 Gbps.

Advantages

This DAC cable offers significant advantages over active optical cables and transceivers: zero power consumption, lowest latency, and reduced cost per link. Its passive design eliminates the need for external power, making it an energy-efficient choice for high-density deployments. The 30 AWG construction ensures flexibility while maintaining signal integrity over the 2-meter length.
