BlueOptics H3C Compatible QSFP-100G-4SFP-25G-CAB-1M Passive 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 to 4x25GBASE-CR SFP28 Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 1m, AWG26

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-4SFP-25G-CAB-1M-BL is a high-performance passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) breakout cable designed for H3C compatible networking equipment. It enables seamless 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity by breaking out a single QSFP28 port into four independent 25 Gigabit SFP28 links, ideal for high-density data center and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

This cable offers a cost-effective and low-latency solution for short-range interconnects. Its passive design ensures zero power consumption, reducing overall energy costs. The breakout configuration maximizes port utilization and simplifies cable management, allowing for efficient server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack (ToR) and end-of-row (EoR) architectures
• Server-to-switch interconnects requiring 25G/100G speeds
• Network attached storage (NAS) and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Upgrading existing 10G/40G infrastructure to 25G/100G
