10/100BASE-T SFPJuniper Networks QSFP-100G-1SPC Compatible 100G QSFP28 to 1 x 25G SFP28 Passive Copper Twinax Cable
The QSFP-100G-1SPC compatible series is designed for Juniper Networks hosts requiring a 100G DAC connection. Its QSFP28 to SFP28 arrangement is supplied as a factory-terminated passive twinax link without separate optical modules or patch cords. Use the specifications to assess the physical assembly, then follow the exact length and part-number links when preparing a bill of materials or requesting a compatibility check.

Applications and Deployment
A passive DAC reduces the connection to one factory-terminated electrical assembly. This is useful where low latency, low interface power and a short managed route matter more than optical reach. Cable gauge, connector construction and host port settings still influence whether the complete link operates reliably. For this series, the listed interface is QSFP28 to SFP28 and the aggregate rate is 100G. The stated application is 25G Ethernet, Data Centers.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Each assembly receives a visual connector inspection and functional link check before it is coiled and protected. Packaging is selected to avoid compressing the cable into a tight bundle, and optional rack-based labels help maintain an orderly installation when many identical interfaces are populated together. Both connector ends are inspected as part of the complete assembly, and protective packing is selected to avoid tight bends during transport and storage.
Cable Construction and Routing
For this assembly, the conductor specification is 26AWG; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR); the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the operating temperature is 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F); the power consumption is ≤0.1W. These parameters belong in the installation review rather than being treated as catalogue trivia. Route the cable through its intended managers without tension, avoid pressure close to the connector boots and leave enough space to operate the latches. Any service loop must respect the stated bend limit.
High-Density Rack Integration
In a densely populated rack, connector access and airflow are part of the link design. Choose the shortest length that follows the managed path comfortably, avoid tight bundles around the connector housings and preserve room for latch operation. Where power consumption is listed, include every populated interface in the host thermal budget rather than assessing a single cable in isolation. For this series, keep the interface rate, DAC construction and length-specific OEM reference together throughout that review.
Ordering Information
Provide the exact part number, length, quantity and target interface density. For multi-rack projects, list each length separately and identify any preferred carton grouping. Host model and software information can be included for a compatibility review before production or dispatch. For this series, follow the corresponding length link, quote that exact OEM part number and keep different lengths on separate order lines. HT part number QSFP-100G-1SPC identifies the product family; the linked page provides the final length-specific identity.
Juniper Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing
The assembly is evaluated for host recognition and stable link operation, with diagnostics checked where the interface provides them. This approach verifies more than electrical or optical continuity. Exact platform and firmware information remains valuable in high-density deployments because port mode and qualification policy can differ within the same connector family. Series-level inspection is followed by the exact length and OEM configuration selected for dispatch. Functional verification includes link establishment and diagnostic indications where the host exposes them.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Juniper Networks cable?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible cable for equipment that specifies QSFP-100G-1SPC, not an original Juniper Networks-branded product.
Are different lengths and OEM part numbers separate products?
Yes. Where a length has its own OEM reference, follow the corresponding link above and order that exact part number on its own line. Do not substitute another length only because the connector arrangement is the same.
Does this DAC cable require separate modules at each end?
No. The connector ends and cable form one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable standalone transceivers, and the complete product is tested together.
What information helps confirm compatibility?
Provide the equipment manufacturer and model, port type, hardware revision and software release, together with the required OEM reference, length and quantity. Breakout projects should also identify the intended lane configuration.
