BlueOptics SFP28-DAC-3M-TL-BL Compatible BlueLAN DAC SFP28 Passive Copper Cable 3m Black

The BlueOptics SFP28-DAC-3M-TL-BL is a high-performance, passive copper Direct Attach Cable (DAC) designed for 25 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This 3-meter cable features SFP28 connectors on both ends, ensuring reliable, low-latency interconnects in data centers, high-performance computing, and enterprise networks. Fully compatible with BlueLAN and MSA compliant, it offers a cost-effective solution for short-range, high-speed links.

Advantages

This DAC cable provides a plug-and-play, hot-pluggable interface with low power consumption, eliminating the need for separate transceivers. Its passive copper design ensures minimal signal loss and high durability, while the PVC jacket protects against physical wear. The 3-meter length is ideal for rack-to-rack or rack-to-switch connections within a data center.
