BlueOptics Compatible MRV QSFP28-4SFP28-DAC-2M BlueLAN Passive 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 to 4x25GBASE-CR SFP28 Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 2 Meter, AWG26 (Q28-4S28-DAC-2M-MV-BL)

The BlueOptics Q28-4S28-DAC-2M-MV-BL is a high-performance passive direct attach breakout cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It converts a single QSFP28 port into four independent SFP28 ports, enabling cost-effective 100G to 4x25G connectivity. This cable is fully compatible with MRV equipment and built to meet the rigorous demands of modern data centers and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

This breakout cable offers a reliable and energy-efficient solution for network upgrades. With zero power consumption, it reduces overall system power draw and heat generation. The passive design ensures low latency and high signal integrity, while the 2-meter length provides flexibility in rack configurations. The AWG26 gauge wire ensures optimal performance for 25G per lane transmission.
