## Summary description

Copper direct-attach cable BlueOptics 980-9I622-00C003 provides 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet connectivity over a 3-meter, 26AWG twinax link. Designed for short-reach data center interconnects, it supports 100 Gbps aggregated throughput and compatible direct-attach use with QSFP28 ports. Suitable for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch and top-of-rack connections.

## Long description

BlueOptics 980-9I622-00C003 is a copper direct attach cable (DAC) designed for 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet links. The cable uses 26AWG twinax conductors and provides a 3 m fixed-length connection optimized for short-reach data center interconnects. It is intended for direct-attach use with QSFP28 ports and delivers aggregated 100 Gbps throughput for high-density server, switch and rack-level connections.
Advantages
This direct attach copper cable offers low-latency, energy-efficient connectivity without the need for separate transceivers. The 26AWG twinax construction ensures stable signal integrity over the 3 m length while keeping electrical losses and heat generation low. Its QSFP28-compatible ends enable plug-and-play installation into 100GBASE-CR4 ports, reducing equipment complexity and saving rack space compared with active optical solutions for short distances.
Suitable for
 Server-to-switch links inside data center racks
 Switch-to-switch connections in top-of-rack or middle-of-row configurations
 High-density patching where short-reach 100G links are required
Key specifications
 Standard: 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet
 Cable type: Direct attach copper (twinax)
 Conductor gauge: 26 AWG
 Connector interface: QSFP28-compatible
 Length: 3 m
 Aggregated throughput: 100 Gbps
 Typical use range: short-reach data center interconnect
How to use
Confirm that both devices support 100GBASE-CR4 over QSFP28 interfaces. Align and insert the cable connectors into the QSFP28 ports until the latch engages. Use one cable per 100G link and avoid bending the cable beyond recommended bend radii to maintain signal integrity. If link negotiation does not occur, verify port configuration, firmware compatibility and that the switch or server supports direct-attach passive twinax links at 100G.
Usage recommendations
Use this 3 m 26AWG DAC for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. For longer distances or environments requiring electrical isolation, consider optical transceiver solutions. Store and route the cable away from sources of electromagnetic interference and avoid tight bends to preserve performance.
