Axiom

Axiom 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 to 4 SFP28 Passive DAC 3M

SKU CH-2AHA-17F38

Splits a 100 GbE QSFP28 link into four SFP28 connections over a 3 m passive copper cable for Juniper switches

  • Product typeTransceiver
  • 100 Gbps aggregate bandwidth via four 28 Gbps lanes
  • Passive copper construction needs no external power
  • 3 metre reach suits rack-to-rack links
  • Juniper-compatible coding for plug-and-play deployment

What this cable does

This Axiom passive DAC splits a single QSFP28 port into four SFP28 connections over a three-metre reach. It carries 100 Gb/s of aggregate bandwidth and requires no external power. The assembly is built for new deployments that need a direct copper link between compatible network equipment.

Who should consider something else

Teams that need longer reach or active signal conditioning should look at alternative cable types. Environments requiring optical interfaces or different connector formats will not be served by this copper assembly. Buyers needing a different breakout configuration or port density must select a separate product.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 3-metre passive breakout or a longer active cable for my 100G QSFP28 uplink?

The 3-metre passive design suits short rack-to-rack links where power draw and latency must stay minimal; longer runs would need an active or optical alternative.

What does the 100G rating mean once the cable is plugged into my switch?

It delivers a single 100G lane that splits into four independent 28G lanes, giving each SFP28 port its own full-duplex channel without oversubscription.
