Fortinet FN-CABLE-SFP28-5 25 GE SFP28 Passive DAC | 25GbE, 5 m

Keep short-reach 25 GbE links simple, stable, and cost-efficient with the Fortinet FN-CABLE-SFP28-5 passive direct attach cable. Designed for SFP28 ports, this 5 m cable is a practical fit for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack connections where optical transceivers would add unnecessary expense, heat, and complexity. Passive DAC cabling is often the right choice when you need predictable performance over short distances and want to preserve power and budget for the rest of the stack. In dense environments, that matters: fewer components to source, fewer points of failure, and cleaner cable management across switch, server, and storage rows. For infrastructure teams standardizing on 25 GbE, this cable supports a straightforward deployment model. It is well suited to environments where link stability, low latency, and procurement simplicity matter more than long-haul reach. When the design calls for direct-attach copper instead of optics, this Fortinet cable gives you a purpose-built option for the job.
