QSFP28 100G DAC cable 3m
The 100G QSFP28 3m DAC cable is a short passive copper cable that enables data transmission of up to 100 Gbps over a distance of 3 meters. Compatibility with the QSFP28 MSA standard ensures easy integration with any network devices. Its simple installation and low cost make it an excellent choice for efficient short-distance data transmission in server rooms or data centers. It is a cheaper alternative to fiber optic inserts for shorter distances of several meters.
Each end of the DAC cable is individually recoded before shipment, making it possible to connect equipment from different suppliers.
Self-recoding under different manufacturers is made possible by the LightBoard programmer (last photo), sold separately.

DAC 100G QSFP28 cable 5m
The 100G QSFP28 3m DAC cable is an efficient and cost-effective solution for short-distance data transmission. It is ideal for use in modern data centers and server rooms. This passive copper cable offers reliable data transfer at speeds of up to 100 Gbps over a distance of 3m. Our range of DAC 100G cables also includes cables with lengths from 1m to 5m.
Direct Attach Copper (DAC) technology means a direct connection without the need for optical signal conversion. In other words, data transfer is carried out via an electrical signal over a copper cable between two QSFP28 modules. This enables a significant reduction in installation costs, and also minimizes transmission delays compared to fiber optic solutions. In addition, the lack of need to use lasers for optical transmission translates into significant energy savings.
Compatibility with the QSFP28 MSA standard ensures full integration with a wide range of network devices, enabling easy and fast deployment.
