BlueOptics Compatible Planet QSFP28-4SFP28-DAC-2M Pasivo 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 a 4x25GBASE-CR SFP28 Cable Breakout Direct Attach, 2m, AWG26

The BlueOptics Q28-4S28-DAC-2M-PT-BL is a high-performance passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) breakout cable designed for reliable 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This cable converts a single QSFP28 port into four SFP28 ports, enabling cost-effective 100G to 25G migration in data centers and enterprise networks. Fully compatible with Planet Networks equipment, it delivers low latency and power efficiency for short-reach interconnects.

Advantages

This breakout cable offers a seamless solution for connecting 100G switches to 25G servers or storage devices. Its passive design ensures zero power consumption, while the AWG26 gauge provides optimal signal integrity over 2 meters. The BlueLAN© series guarantees interoperability and performance, reducing deployment costs and complexity.
