Fortinet FNCABLEQSFP284SFP281 1 m 100GE QSFP28 Breakout | DAC, Enterprise

Convert one 100GE QSFP28 port into four 25GE SFP28 links with a passive direct attach cable designed for short-reach aggregation. The 1 m length is ideal for adjacent rack equipment where clean routing matters more than reach, and where every saved transceiver slot and watt counts. This cable fits environments that need dense 25GE fan-out without adding optical modules or unnecessary complexity. Passive DAC construction keeps the link straightforward for compatible hardware, while the breakout design supports efficient port utilization in leaf-spine fabrics, top-of-rack deployments, and server aggregation tiers. For teams standardizing on 25GE access while preserving 100GE uplink capacity, this Fortinet cable offers a practical path to higher port density. It is a focused component, not a generic patch cord: the breakout format is purpose-built for infrastructure teams that need predictable short-run connectivity and clean rack management.
