BlueOptics Intel XXV4DACBL1M Compatible BlueLAN Passive 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 to 4x25GBASE-CR SFP28 Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 1m, AWG26

The BlueOptics Intel XXV4DACBL1M compatible BlueLAN passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) breakout cable is designed for high-performance data center and network interconnect applications. It provides a cost-effective solution for connecting QSFP28 ports to four SFP28 ports, supporting aggregate data rates of 100 Gbps (4x25 Gbps per lane). This cable is fully compliant with 100GBASE-CR4 and 25GBASE-CR Ethernet standards, ensuring reliable and low-latency connectivity.

Advantages

This breakout cable offers significant advantages over using multiple individual cables, reducing cable clutter and simplifying cable management. Its passive design ensures low power consumption and high reliability, while the AWG26 gauge provides optimal signal integrity over the 1-meter length. The cable is hot-swappable and compatible with Intel XXV4DACBL1M equipment, making it an ideal choice for upgrading or expanding network infrastructure.
