Compatible Extreme Networks 10421 BlueLAN Cable Breakout Direct Attach 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 a 4x25GBASE-CR SFP28 Pasivo, 1m, AWG26

This high-performance BlueLAN passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) breakout cable is designed for compatibility with Extreme Networks 10421 series equipment. It provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for high-speed data center interconnects, converting a single 100 Gbps QSFP28 port into four independent 25 Gbps SFP28 links.

Advantages

Ultra-low power consumption (passive design), hot-pluggable, and compliant with SFF-8665 and SFF-8402 standards. The breakout configuration enables efficient utilization of existing 25G infrastructure while upgrading to 100G core connections.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack to server connections
• High-performance computing clusters
• Network aggregation and core switching
• Extreme Networks 10421 and compatible QSFP28/SFP28 devices
