BlueOptics NDAAFF-0001-BL Compatible BlueLAN DAC QSFP28 Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable 1m Black

The BlueOptics NDAAFF-0001-BL is a high-performance passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for InfiniBand EDR and 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. This 1-meter QSFP28 to QSFP28 cable delivers reliable 100 Gbps connectivity for high-performance computing and data center environments. Manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, it ensures seamless interoperability with BlueLAN and Amphenol compatible systems.

Advantages

Cost-effective alternative to fiber optic solutions with low power consumption (<0.5W). Passive design requires no external power, reducing complexity and heat. Hot-pluggable QSFP28 connectors enable easy installation and maintenance. Durable PVC jacket and 30 AWG construction provide flexibility and long service life.
