100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Passive DAC

The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) is a passive twinax direct attach copper cable with QSFP28 to QSFP28, supporting 100Gbps links over a length of 0.5m (1.64ft). As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, and complies with QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8662, IEEE 802.3.

Applications
The 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) connects QSFP28 to QSFP28 ports at 100Gbps in 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. This unit is stocked in 7 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 5m (16ft). Because the assembly is factory terminated and tested as a complete link, installation is plug and play on both ends. It is interoperable with Cisco platforms and replaces the Cisco part QSFP-100G-CU0.5M directly.
Standards and Compatibility
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.
Ordering Information
The ordering code varies with length, such as QSFP-100G-PC005 for the shortest option. Standard supply covers 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 2.5m (8ft), 3m (10ft) and 5m (16ft). Custom length production is available for project requirements. Wire gauge: 30AWG.
Package
Products are first packed into blister trays or self-sealed bags and then into cartons. Standard labels and marks are applied by default, and customized packing and labeling are available on request.
Custom-made Fiber Products
As a manufacturer serving the fiber optic industry since 1995, we have strong in-house manufacturing and design capability. From early GBIC, Xenpak and X2 modules to today's SFP, SFP+, QSFP, QSFP-DD and OSFP products, we grow together with the industry. OEM and custom-designed transceivers and cables are welcome, and our factory-direct pricing is very competitive compared with online retail stores.
How We Ship
Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.
Our Testing Process
Production samples and every outgoing batch pass through bit-error-rate measurement, temperature verification and plug-in compatibility checks on mainstream switches and routers. Because we are the manufacturer, any issue found in testing is fed back to the production line immediately instead of being passed on to customers.
