BLUEOPTICS Extreme Networks EQPC1HPC050C0100 Compatible BlueLAN Direct Attach Cable (DAC) - Passive 100 Gigabit Twinaxial Copper, QSFP28 to QSFP28, 0.5m

The BLUEOPTICS Extreme Networks EQPC1HPC050C0100 Compatible BlueLAN Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is a high-performance, passive twinaxial copper cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It features QSFP28 connectors on both ends, making it ideal for short-range interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks in data centers and enterprise networks. This cable is fully compatible with Extreme Networks equipment and offers reliable, low-latency connectivity for high-bandwidth applications.

Advantages

This DAC cable provides a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for high-speed data transmission. With a power consumption of less than 0.5W per end, it minimizes heat generation and operational costs. The passive design ensures zero signal processing, resulting in ultra-low latency and high signal integrity. The 30 AWG construction offers flexibility for easy cable management, while the PVC jacket provides durability and protection.
