BlueOptics Lenovo AV1Y Compatible BlueLAN 25GBASE-CR Passive SFP28 Direct Attach Cable, 5m, AWG26

The BlueOptics BlueLAN AV1Y-BL is a high-performance, passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for 25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It is fully compatible with Lenovo AV1Y series SFP28 ports, providing a cost-effective and reliable solution for short-range interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks. With a length of 5 meters and 26 AWG construction, this cable ensures low latency and ultra-low power consumption.

Advantages

This passive DAC cable offers significant advantages over active optical cables or transceivers: it consumes virtually no power, has the lowest possible latency, and is highly durable. The SFP28 form factor on both ends ensures hot-pluggable installation and seamless integration with existing network equipment. It is an ideal choice for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections within racks or adjacent racks.
