- Specialty cable for QSFP28 port environments
- Deliver 100 GbE connectivity with a passive QSFP28 direct attach design
Support 100 GbE connectivity with a passive QSFP28 direct attach cable designed for short-reach infrastructure links. In dense switching environments, DACs are often the most efficient way to connect adjacent devices because they reduce component count, simplify installation, and avoid the added cost and power draw of optical transceivers.
This cable is well suited to rack-level and row-level deployments where the distance is short and the priority is dependable throughput. For network teams, that means cleaner cable management and fewer variables during rollout. For procurement, it means a more economical path to 100 GbE when the application does not require optical reach.
The passive design keeps the assembly straightforward while preserving the performance expected in modern data center fabrics. If your deployment standardizes on QSFP28 ports, this cable helps maintain consistency across high-speed interconnects and supports a more disciplined physical layer strategy.

- Connect 100 GbE switches within the same rack
- Link adjacent network cabinets in a data center row
- Attach high-speed servers or storage systems with QSFP28 ports
- Standardize short-reach 100 GbE cabling in enterprise fabrics
