Extralink QSFP28 DAC CABLE 100G 3M 30AWG PASSIVE network transceiver module

The Extralink QSFP28 DAC CABLE is a passive 100G direct attach cable designed for short-range, high-speed connections in data centers and server rooms. This 3 m, 30AWG QSFP28 cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 100000 Mbit/s and is intended for reliable interconnects between compatible QSFP28 ports.

Advantages

This passive QSFP28 DAC offers low latency and power-free operation, simplifying short-distance connectivity while maintaining a 100G link. Its 3-meter length and 30AWG construction provide a balance between flexibility and signal integrity, and the black jacket increases durability for rack and tray installations.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches and routers with QSFP28 ports within racks
• Server-to-switch links in data center top-of-rack setups
• High-performance computing clusters requiring short, high-bandwidth links

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP28
• Maximum data transfer rate: 100000 Mbit/s (100G)
• Length: 3 m
• Cable gauge: 30 AWG
• Product colour: Black
• Type: Passive DAC (Direct Attach Cable)

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP28 ports and that the required 100G link settings are configured on connected network equipment. Hold the QSFP28 connectors by the housing, align the connector with the port, and insert until it seats firmly. To remove, depress the release mechanism and pull the connector straight out. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force.

Recommendations

Use this passive QSFP28 DAC for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Verify device compatibility and any vendor compatibility lists before deployment to ensure full 100G operation.
