BlueOptics E100G-QSFP-QSFP-P-0501 Compatible BlueLAN DAC QSFP28 5m Passive Copper Twinax Cable

The BlueOptics E100G-QSFP-QSFP-P-0501 is a high-performance, passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GBASE-CR4) applications. This QSFP28 to QSFP28 cable provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for short-reach interconnects in data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), enterprise networks, and storage area networks (SAN). With a length of 5 meters and 26 AWG construction, it ensures reliable signal integrity and compliance with IEEE 802.3bj and MSA standards.

Advantages

This DAC cable offers several key benefits: it is hot-swappable, consumes less than 0.5W per end, and operates over a wide temperature range (0°C to 70°C). Its passive copper design eliminates the need for external power, reducing overall system power consumption. The cable is RoHS compliant and built for durability, making it an ideal choice for high-density environments.

Suitable for

• Data Center Interconnects
