Fortinet 25G SFP28 Passive Direct Attach Cable | DAC, Enterprise

Support short-distance 25 GbE connectivity with this passive SFP28 direct attach cable from Fortinet. It is designed for direct attach deployments where devices sit close together and the goal is to keep the physical layer simple, predictable, and cost-conscious. Passive DAC cabling is a strong fit for rack-level interconnects because it removes the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords. That means fewer components to source, fewer points of failure to manage, and a cleaner path from port to port. In dense environments, those advantages translate into faster deployment and easier maintenance. Use this cable for switch-to-switch links, server uplinks, and appliance connections within the same rack or adjacent racks. The SFP28 interface aligns with modern 25 GbE infrastructure, making it a straightforward option for teams standardizing on high-speed Ethernet without overbuilding the link. When the distance is short and the requirement is dependable throughput, a passive direct attach cable is often the right answer. This model fits that role with a focused design that supports efficient rack layouts and disciplined cable management.
