BlueOptics H3C QSFP-100G-4SFP-25G-CAB-2M Compatible Breakout Direct Attach Cable (DAC) - Pasivo 100 Gigabit a 4x25 Gigabit Twinaxial Cobre, QSFP28 a 4xSFP28, 2m

The BlueOptics QSFP-100G-4SFP-25G-CAB-2M-BL is a high-performance breakout direct attach cable (DAC) designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications. This passive twinaxial copper cable provides a cost-effective and low-power solution for interconnecting data center equipment, converting a single QSFP28 port into four SFP28 ports. It is fully compatible with H3C QSFP-100G-4SFP-25G-CAB-2M and offers reliable connectivity for rack-to-rack and server-to-switch links.

Advantages

This breakout DAC cable simplifies cabling by consolidating four 25 Gbps links into one 100 Gbps connection, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow. Its passive design ensures near-zero power consumption (<0.5W) and minimal latency, making it ideal for high-density environments. The 2-meter length is perfect for adjacent rack connections, and the robust PVC jacket provides durability in demanding data center conditions.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects
