Know before you buy
This cable is designed for high-speed, short-reach connections between network devices within a rack or adjacent racks. It is ideal for 100GbE data center environments where low latency and power efficiency are required.
Yes, this cable is programmed and tested to ensure 100% compatibility with standard QSFP28 ports. Because it is a passive DAC, it is designed to function seamlessly as a direct replacement for OEM-branded cables.
TAA compliance indicates that the product meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act, making it eligible for purchase by U.S. government agencies and organizations that require products manufactured or substantially transformed in designated countries.
Passive copper cables do not contain active signal processing components, which helps keep power consumption and latency very low. Because of this, they are best suited for shorter distances, such as the 2-meter length provided here.
The 30 AWG wire gauge provides a balance between signal integrity and cable flexibility. This makes the cable easier to route through high-density cable management systems while maintaining reliable 100 Gbps data transfer rates.
