Passive SFP28 DAC cable supporting 25Gbps transmission for short-distance data center connections.
When connecting servers within the same rack, optical transceivers add unnecessary cost and latency to short-reach links. This SFP28 direct attach cable provides a reliable passive alternative for 25GBASE Ethernet deployments where distance is under five meters.
Supporting bi-directional data links up to 25 Gb/s per IEEE 802.3by standards, this cable eliminates active component failures while consuming less than 0.1W power. The 5-meter length enables flexible routing between adjacent cabinets, increasing port density without signal degradation or complex management overhead.
Ideal for data center top-of-rack switching and storage interconnects, the SFP28-DAC-5m offers enhanced EMI shielding and hot-pluggable convenience. Unlike active optical solutions, this passive copper design ensures consistent performance with zero configuration requirements for enterprise network infrastructure.
Supports up to 25 Gb/s bi-directional data links compliant with IEEE 802.3by standard.
Passive design consumes less than 0.1W, reducing energy costs in high-density deployments.
Shielded high-speed differential cables ensure signal integrity in noisy data center environments.
Compliant with SFF-8402 standard allowing installation without powering down network equipment.
