100GBase-CU QSFP28 3.28 ft Cable

This AddOn direct-attach cable connects two QSFP28 network ports over a 3.28 ft passive copper link. It carries a 100 Gbit/s data rate and uses 30 AWG conductors with copper-plated connectors. The assembly weighs 0.2 units and carries a lifetime limited warranty.

Suitable for 100G QSFP28 links up to 3.28 ft

Network teams needing a short, passive 100GBase-CU interconnect between switches, routers or servers can use this cable. It does not suit installations that require longer reaches, active optical cables or a different connector type. Builders who need more length or a higher data rate must select another product.

100 Gbit/s passive copper over 3.28 ft

The single specification that decides fit is the 100 Gbit/s passive copper design at a fixed 3.28 ft length. If the link demands a different speed, an active equaliser or a longer run, this cable will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 3.28 ft length or a longer cable for my rack?

The 3.28 ft passive copper cable suits adjacent rack connections; longer runs need active or optical cables to maintain the 100 Gbit/s rate.

Will this cable deliver the full 100 Gbit/s inside my switch?

Yes, the passive 30 AWG copper assembly is rated for 100 Gbit/s when connected between compatible QSFP28 ports.

What does the QSFP28 interface limit in practice?

The QSFP28 connectors cap the link at 100 Gbit/s and restrict reach to short distances such as the 3.28 ft length of this passive cable.
