BlueOptics MCP7F00-A002R30N Compatible BlueLAN QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 2m, Passive, AWG26

The BlueOptics MCP7F00-A002R30N-BL is a high-performance, passive Direct Attach Breakout Cable (DAC) designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for breaking out a 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 port into four 25GBASE-CR SFP28 ports, ideal for data center and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

This breakout cable offers seamless compatibility with Mellanox equipment, ensuring plug-and-play integration. The passive copper design delivers low latency and power consumption, while the AWG26 gauge ensures optimal signal integrity over the 2-meter length. Hot-pluggable and MSA compliant, it simplifies network upgrades and reduces cabling complexity.
