100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Passive DAC

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.

Designed for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) carries 100Gbps between QSFP28 to QSFP28 interfaces. This unit is available in 7 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 5m (16ft). It installs directly into standard ports with no separate transceivers or patch cords to manage at either end. It is interoperable with Cisco platforms and replaces the Cisco part QSFP-100G-CU0.5M directly.

This product is designed and tested to comply with QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8662, IEEE 802.3. It is interoperable with Cisco equipment and serves as a direct equivalent to the Cisco part number QSFP-100G-CU0.5M.

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. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.

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.

From incoming component inspection to final burn-in, quality is controlled at each step of production. Finished units are verified on real networking equipment in our compatibility lab, and test records are kept per batch so that any field question can be traced back quickly.

Transceivers and cables are individually protected against static and dust, then consolidated into sturdy cartons suitable for international courier shipment. For larger orders we shrink-wrap and strap cartons onto pallets. Tell us your warehouse or retail requirements and we will pack accordingly.

We have manufactured fiber optic connectivity products since 1995 and run our own production lines in Shenzhen. Beyond the standard catalog we build to order: special cable lengths, custom connector combinations, vendor-specific compatibility coding and private labeling. Send us your requirement and our engineers will quote a practical solution.
