## Summary description

BlueOptics direct attach copper cable, model 980-9I626-00C00A, supports 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet over 30 AWG conductors. The 0.5 meter passive DAC provides a short-reach, low-latency connection between compatible 100 Gigabit ports for switches, NICs and servers. Suitable for high-throughput interconnects in data centers and rack-to-rack links.

## Long description

BlueOptics direct attach copper cable model 980-9I626-00C00A is a 0.5 m passive DAC designed for 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet links. The cable uses 30 AWG conductors to deliver short-reach, low-latency connectivity between compatible 100 Gigabit ports on switches, network interface cards and servers. Its compact form factor and fixed length make it suitable for dense rack environments and point-to-point interconnects where a reliable, cost-effective copper connection is required.
Advantages
This 100GBASE-CR4 direct attach cable provides a deterministic copper connection with minimal configuration, eliminating the need for optical transceivers and fiber patching for short runs. The passive design reduces power consumption compared with active modules and supports high-throughput data transfer with low latency. The 0.5 m length helps maintain clean cable management in server racks and minimizes signal loss by keeping the link short.
Suitable for
 Short-reach 100 Gigabit connections between top-of-rack switches
 Direct links from servers to NICs supporting 100GBASE-CR4
 Rack-to-rack interconnects inside data centers and colocation facilities
 High-density switch panels requiring compact fixed-length cabling
Key specifications
 Interface standard: 100GBASE-CR4 (100 Gigabit Ethernet over copper)
 Cable type: Direct attach copper (DAC), passive
 Conductor gauge: 30 AWG
 Length: 0.5 m
 Typical use: Short-reach, rack-level interconnects
 Latency: Low, passive copper link
 Form factor: Twinax-style fixed assembly for QSFP28-compatible ports
How to use
Connect one end of the BlueOptics 100GBASE-CR4 direct attach cable to a compatible QSFP28 port on a switch, NIC or server and insert the other end into the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure both ports support 100GBASE-CR4 over passive copper and that devices are powered down or port activity is managed according to vendor guidance when making live connections. Verify link status in the equipment management interface after installation and place the cable to avoid sharp bends or mechanical strain.
Usage recommendations
Use this 0.5 m passive DAC for short-distance, high-throughput interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid using the cable beyond typical passive DAC reach recommendations for 30 AWG twinax to preserve signal integrity. For longer distances or different interoperability requirements, consult device compatibility lists and consider alternative copper or optical options.
