Juniper platform documentation distinguishes straight QSFP28 DAC or AOC connections from DACBO and AOCBO breakout operation. On channelized systems, the host port must be configured for the required breakout mode. Match this HT compatible cable to the exact Juniper part number and the intended platform configuration.

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 33.5mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

The intended application is 100G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8662, IEEE 802.3. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

The additional half metre beyond a one-metre assembly gives JNP-100G-DAC-1.5M useful routing flexibility when the ports are not directly aligned. It can accommodate a different rack unit or a short service loop, but excess cable should be dressed loosely rather than folded into a tight coil.

JNP-100G-DAC-1.5M occupies the middle of this family between QFX-QSFP28-DAC-1M at 1m (3ft) and JNP-100G-DAC-2M at 2m (7ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 0.5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

The listed modulation format is 4x 25G-NRZ to 4x 25G-NRZ. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.

The rated power consumption is ≤0.5W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

Compatibility is more than matching the QSFP28 to QSFP28 shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting JNP-100G-DAC-1.5M and is checked for identification, stable link behavior and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. We recommend confirming the equipment model and software release for critical deployments or mixed-vendor installations.

When ordering, specify JNP-100G-DAC-1.5M, cable length 1.5m (5ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, JNP-100G-DAC-1.5M and the 1.5m (5ft) length for easier inventory control.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
