BlueOptics MikroTik XQ+BC0002-XS+ Compatible BlueLAN QSFP28 Breakout Direct Attach Cable (DAC) - Passive 100 Gigabit to 4x25 Gigabit Twinaxial Copper, QSFP28 to 4xSFP28, 0.5m

The BlueOptics MikroTik XQ+BC0002-XS+ compatible BlueLAN QSFP28 Breakout Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is a high-performance passive twinaxial copper cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It breaks out a single QSFP28 port into four SFP28 ports, enabling efficient 100G to 4x25G connections in data centers and rack environments.

Advantages

This breakout DAC cable offers a cost-effective and low-power solution for high-speed networking. Its passive design consumes zero power, reducing overall energy costs. The twinaxial copper construction ensures reliable signal integrity over short distances, making it ideal for rack-to-rack and adjacent rack connections. Hot-swappable connectors allow for easy installation and maintenance without network downtime.
