## Summary description

BlueOptics QSFP28 direct attach copper cable (model 9613CM100CAB2-0030) provides 100GBASE-CR4 connectivity for high-speed links and Infiniband EDR support. Constructed with 26AWG conductors and a QSFP28 connector, the 3 m DAC cable is suitable for short-reach server, switch and storage interconnects where low latency and high throughput are required.

## Long description

The BlueOptics Direct Attach Cable 9613CM100CAB2-0030 is a QSFP28 100GBASE-CR4 copper assembly designed for short-reach high-bandwidth interconnects. With a 3 meter length and 26AWG conductors, this DAC supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet links and Infiniband EDR environments. The cable uses QSFP28 connectors on both ends and is intended for direct attachment between servers, switches and storage devices where low latency and high throughput are required.
Advantages
This QSFP28 direct attach copper cable delivers a cost-effective, low-power alternative to optical transceivers for short 100G links. Its 26AWG construction provides reliable signal integrity for 100GBASE-CR4 and Infiniband EDR, while the standardized QSFP28 form factor ensures compatibility with equipment designed for QSFP28 ports. The fixed 3 m length reduces excess cabling in dense racks and helps maintain predictable electrical performance across short distances.
Suitable for
 Short-reach 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches and top-of-rack servers
 High-throughput Infiniband EDR links in compute clusters
 Direct server-to-storage or switch-to-storage interconnects in data centers
 Racks and cabinets where low latency and low power consumption are priorities
When it may not be suitable
This direct attach copper cable is optimized for short-reach links and is not appropriate for longer-distance connections that require fiber optics. Environments that call for hot-pluggable optical transceivers, longer link budgets, or where electrical routing through patch panels is required may be better served by fiber optic solutions or active optical cables.
Key specifications
 Connector type: QSFP28 on both ends
 Data rate: 100 Gbps (100GBASE-CR4)
 Supported protocol: Infiniband EDR compatible
 Cable gauge: 26 AWG
 Length: 3 m
 Cable type: Direct attach copper (DAC)
How to use
Install the BlueOptics QSFP28 DAC by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding 100G QSFP28 port on your network equipment until the latch engages. Verify link status and configuration in the host devices or switch management interface. The cable is ready to use without additional optics configuration; ensure both endpoints support 100GBASE-CR4 or Infiniband EDR for proper operation. Handle the cable by the connector housings to avoid bending the conductors and maintain the recommended bend radius for copper assemblies.
What to consider before purchase
 Confirm that both devices have QSFP28 ports and support 100GBASE-CR4 or Infiniband EDR
 Verify that a 3 m fixed-length DAC fits your rack layout and does not require additional cable management
 Ensure your equipment vendor allows passive DACs or comparable copper cables for warranty and compatibility considerations
Usage recommendations
Use the 3 m BlueOptics QSFP28 DAC for direct short links within racks or between adjacent racks where low latency and low power are priorities. Avoid tight bends, excessive strain, and routing near high-power sources to maintain performance and longevity.
