100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft)

For short reach 100Gbps links in 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) offers a factory terminated passive twinax assembly with QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectors and a length of 0.5m (1.64ft). As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. The cable meets QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8662, IEEE 802.3.

The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) is a 100Gbps direct attach copper cable for QSFP28 to QSFP28 connections in 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. This unit is available in 7 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 5m (16ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. For networks standardized on Cisco hardware, it is a drop-in equivalent of the QSFP-100G-CU0.5M.

Compliance: QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8662, IEEE 802.3. For projects standardized on Cisco hardware, this product replaces the QSFP-100G-CU0.5M directly, with identical fit and function. Every unit's EEPROM coding and link behavior are verified on real host equipment in our lab, so what arrives at your site is ready to use.

The part number of this assembly varies with length, for example QSFP-100G-PC005 for the shortest option. We supply this cable in 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 2.5m (8ft), 3m (10ft) and 5m (16ft). Custom lengths beyond this range can also be produced on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG.

As a manufacturer serving the fiber optic industry since 1995, we have strong in-house manufacturing and design capability. From early GBIC, Xenpak and X2 modules to today's SFP, SFP+, QSFP, QSFP-DD and OSFP products, we grow together with the industry. OEM and custom-designed transceivers and cables are welcome, and our factory-direct pricing is very competitive compared with online retail stores.

Our warehouse keeps fast-moving transceivers and cables ready for same-week dispatch. Courier, air freight and sea freight options are all available depending on your budget and schedule, and we consolidate multiple items into one shipment whenever it saves you cost.

Before any product leaves our factory it goes through optical performance testing, compatibility verification on real switch platforms and a final visual inspection. Our in-house test lab holds a wide range of current and legacy switches from major brands, so interoperability is proven on the actual equipment your network uses rather than assumed from paper specifications.

Products are first packed into blister trays or self-sealed bags and then into cartons. Standard labels and marks are applied by default, and customized packing and labeling are available on request.
