100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable
100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cable
The 100G QSFP28 Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable is a cost-effective, low-power interconnect solution for short-reach data center links. With QSFP28 connectors on both ends joined by high-quality twinax copper, it delivers full 100Gbps performance for Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections — with zero transceiver optics required.
- **100G High Bandwidth** — Full 100Gbps QSFP28-to-QSFP28 throughput for high-density networking.
- **Passive Design, Low Power** — Passive DAC at 3.3V; far lower power consumption and cost than optical modules.
- **Premium Copper, Low Latency** — AWG30 / AWG28 / AWG26 twinax copper for reliable, low-latency direct attach.
- **Flexible Lengths, Plug & Play** — 1m / 3m / 5m or customized; quick installation, no configuration needed.

FAQ
Questions about this model.
What connector and fibre does it need?
The listed interface is QSFP28 to QSFP28. Check that your patch cords, panel adapters and polarity match before installation.
Is an industrial temperature version available?
The listed operating temperature is 0 ~ 70°C. Commercial (0~70°C) and industrial (-40~85°C) grades can be quoted; state the installed environment in your inquiry so the right grade is offered.
Can it be coded for my switch?
Yes. Send the host manufacturer, the exact model and the software version with your inquiry. Coding is confirmed per platform before production — a connector that fits does not by itself prove the host will accept the module.
Can I evaluate a sample first?
Include the required quantity, host platform and destination in your inquiry. Sample availability, charges and lead time are confirmed in the quotation, and we recommend testing in the intended port before a bulk order.
