BlueOptics QNAP CAB-DAC3M-Q28B4 BlueLAN Passives 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 - 4x25GBASE-CR SFP28 Direct Attach Breakout -kaapeli, 3 m

The BlueOptics QNAP CAB-DAC3M-Q28B4 BlueLAN is a high-performance passive direct attach breakout cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It converts a single QSFP28 port into four independent SFP28 ports, enabling cost-effective 100G to 4x25G breakout applications in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

This breakout cable offers a reliable and low-latency solution for connecting QSFP28 switches to SFP28 servers or storage devices. Its passive twinax design ensures minimal power consumption (<0.5W) and hot-pluggable convenience. The 3-meter length provides flexibility in rack cabling while maintaining signal integrity.
