Axiom passive DAC with one QSFP28 end splitting to four SFP28 connectors

Axiom

Axiom 100GBase-CR4 QSFP28 to 4 SFP28 Passive DAC 2m

SKU CH-YYTD-9NXCB

Passive 100 Gbps breakout cable splits one QSFP28 port into four SFP28 links over two metres

  • QSFP28 breakout to four SFP28 ports for dense connectivity
  • Passive copper assembly needs no external power supply
  • 2 metre reach fits standard rack-to-rack links
  • Juniper-validated interoperability for reliable deployment

Breakout cable for 100G QSFP28 to four 28G SFP28

This passive direct-attach copper cable splits a single QSFP28 port into four independent SFP28 connections. It is built for Juniper-compatible switches and routers that need 100G aggregate bandwidth across four 28G lanes. The 2 metre length suits intra-rack or adjacent-rack cabling in data-centre environments. No external power or active electronics are required.

Passive copper construction needs no power budget

The cable draws zero watts from the switch, freeing power budget for line cards or optics. It occupies one QSFP28 cage while delivering four SFP28 links, reducing port-density pressure on the chassis. Installation is hot-pluggable and requires no configuration beyond standard breakout-port enablement. Buyers who need active signal conditioning or longer reach should select an active optical alternative.

Questions about this item

Will the passive copper construction limit link distance when the 100 GbE link runs continuously?

The passive direct-attach cable is rated for a 2 m reach, so it is intended for rack-to-rack or intra-rack links rather than longer runs.

Does the QSFP28 breakout end generate noticeable heat during all-day 100 GbE operation?

As a passive copper assembly it has no active components, so it adds no measurable heat beyond the normal warmth of the copper conductors.
