BlueOptics Edge Core ET6402-DAC-3M Compatible BlueLAN QSFP Direct Attach Cable, 40GBASE-CR4, 30AWG, 3 Meter

The BlueOptics Edge Core ET6402-DAC-3M compatible BlueLAN QSFP Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is a high-performance, passive copper cable designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand QDR applications. With a length of 3 meters and 30 AWG wire gauge, this cable provides a reliable, low-latency connection for data center and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

This direct attach cable offers a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for short-range interconnects. It is hot-pluggable, compliant with SFF-8436, and consumes less than 0.5W per end, making it ideal for high-density deployments. The passive design ensures zero power consumption for signal conditioning, reducing overall system power draw.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects between switches, servers, and storage
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
