Know before you buy
The reverse split design allows you to bridge different hardware generations or port types by connecting a QSFP-DD port to a standard QSFP port. It is specifically engineered for network configurations that require this unique interface transition.
No, this is a passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable. It draws power directly from the connected network devices, simplifying your setup and eliminating the need for additional power management.
This cable supports a high-speed data transfer rate of up to 800 Gbit/s. It is designed to handle demanding, high-throughput network environments.
This cable is designed for specific hardware configurations requiring a QSFP-DD to QSFP connection. Before purchasing, verify that your network equipment supports these specific connector types to ensure compatibility.
Passive copper cables like this one are generally more cost-effective and energy-efficient for short-reach connections. They are highly reliable and avoid the latency and power requirements associated with active optical components.
