BLUEOPTICS Compatible Meraki 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-MR-BL is a high-performance passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) breakout cable designed for seamless integration with Meraki networking equipment. This cable converts a single QSFP28 port into four SFP28 ports, enabling 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over four 25 Gbps lanes. Ideal for data center interconnects and high-performance computing environments, it offers reliable, low-latency connections with minimal power consumption.

Advantages

This breakout cable provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for high-density network deployments. Its passive design ensures zero power consumption, while the 26 AWG construction guarantees signal integrity over the 1-meter length. The BlueLAN compatibility ensures plug-and-play operation with Meraki switches, reducing deployment time and complexity.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects requiring high bandwidth and low latency
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Network switches with QSFP28 ports needing breakout to SFP28
