BLUEOPTICS H3C QSFP-100G-4SFP-25G-CAB-3M Compatible BlueLAN QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Passive Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 3m, AWG26

The BLUEOPTICS H3C QSFP-100G-4SFP-25G-CAB-3M is a high-performance passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) breakout cable designed for reliable 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This cable breaks out a single QSFP28 port into four SFP28 ports, enabling seamless integration of 100G switches with 25G servers or network devices. It is fully compatible with H3C equipment and meets MSA standards for interoperability.

Advantages

Cost-effective and energy-efficient passive design eliminates the need for external power. The breakout configuration maximizes port utilization and simplifies cable management in high-density environments. With a length of 3 meters and AWG26 gauge, it offers flexibility for rack-to-rack connections while maintaining signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack (ToR) to server connections
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Enterprise network aggregation
• Upgrading 10G/25G infrastructure to 100G
