100G QSFP28 Direct Attach Cable

The HPE R0Z26A is a 5 metre QSFP28 to QSFP28 direct attach copper cable rated for 100 Gbit/s data transfer. It connects network devices with matching QSFP28 ports in rack or row configurations. The cable weighs approximately 1.19 lb and features shielded connectors in a multi-colour finish. It is supplied new and ready for deployment.

Suited for 100G QSFP28 links.

This cable suits builders linking two QSFP28 ports at 100 Gbit/s over a short copper reach. It does not suit links that require optical fibre, longer distances, or different data rates such as 40 Gbit/s or lower. Buyers needing breakout configurations, active optical cables, or alternative connector types should look at other products.

100 Gbit/s rated copper reach

The single specification that decides fit is the 100 Gbit/s data transfer rate over QSFP28 copper. If the connected ports operate at this speed and accept passive direct attach cables of this length, the part matches; otherwise it will not function as intended.

Questions about this item

What maximum data rate does the HPE R0Z26A cable support for sustained 100 Gbit/s links?

The cable is rated for 100 Gbit/s data transfer, matching the QSFP28 electrical interface specification for direct-attach copper.

How much heat or power draw should I expect from the HPE R0Z26A when it runs continuously in a 100 Gbit/s link?

As a passive direct-attach copper assembly it draws no external power and generates negligible heat beyond the minimal resistive loss of the conductors.

Which ports must my switches or NICs provide for the HPE R0Z26A to plug in and operate?

Each end requires a QSFP28 network port; the cable terminates in 1×QSFP28 on both sides for a straight 100 Gbit/s link.
