Network Cable BlueOptics 470-AAGI compatible BlueLAN DAC QSFP SC252501K3M30 3m Blue

The BlueOptics 470-AAGI compatible BlueLAN DAC QSFP SC252501K3M30 3m Blue is a direct-attach copper (DAC) cable with QSFP connectors designed for short-reach, high-throughput connections in data center and enterprise network environments. This 3-meter cable delivers reliable, low-latency links for switches, servers and storage systems where QSFP ports are used. Its molded connectors and robust jacket provide consistent electrical performance and straightforward installation while the blue outer sheath aids in visual identification within dense cabling installations.

Advantages

This DAC cable provides low latency and power-efficient connectivity for high-density networking equipment. The fixed-length 3 m design reduces signal reflections and simplifies cable management compared with longer, active fiber options. Its QSFP-compatible connectors offer compatibility with devices that accept quad small form-factor pluggable interfaces, and the cable’s durable construction supports repeated handling and route changes without compromising signal integrity.

Suitable for

• High-speed switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• Server to top-of-rack or spine connections
• Storage arrays and SAN interconnects with QSFP ports
• Short-reach aggregation links where low latency is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP (quad small form-factor pluggable) on both ends
• Cable type: Direct-attach copper (DAC)
• Length: 3 meters
• Color: Blue outer sheath for easy identification
• Application: Short-range, high-throughput interconnects
• Latency: Low-latency electrical connection suitable for high-performance networking

How to use

Install the BlueLAN DAC by aligning each QSFP connector with the corresponding QSFP port on your networking equipment and gently inserting until the connector latches. Ensure both endpoints are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by your hardware vendor if supported. After physical connection, verify link status via switch or server management interfaces and confirm expected data rates. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius to preserve signal quality.

Usage recommendations

Use this 3 m QSFP DAC in short-reach links within racks or between adjacent racks to achieve efficient, low-latency connectivity. Avoid tight bundling that may stress connector ends. Check device compatibility lists for QSFP-supported data rates and hot-plug support to ensure optimal operation.
