Fortinet FN-CABLE-QSFP28-4SFP28-3 3 m QSFP28 Breakout | DAC, 100 GbE

Move 100 GbE traffic into four 25 GbE paths with a longer breakout cable built for practical rack layouts. Fortinet FN-CABLE-QSFP28-4SFP28-3 is a 3 m passive direct attach cable that connects QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 in systems with QSFP28/QSFP+ and SFP28/SFP+ slots. Compared with shorter breakout assemblies, the 3 m length gives more room for routing across adjacent racks, top-of-rack equipment, or deeper chassis layouts while preserving a direct attach approach. The passive design keeps the link simple, and the included transceivers help reduce the number of separate parts to source and validate. For infrastructure teams building dense 25 GbE access from a 100 GbE aggregation layer, this cable supports a cleaner physical layer strategy. It is a strong fit when you need more reach than a 1 m assembly can provide, but still want to avoid the cost and complexity of optical alternatives for short-to-medium copper runs.
