## Summary description

Direct attach QSFP28 copper cable by BlueOptics, 1 meter length, supporting 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet links. Terminated for QSFP28 connectivity and specified as 30AWG cable gauge, suitable for short-reach high-speed interconnects between switches, routers or NICs in data center and server environments. Compatible with devices expecting a QSFP28 100G direct attach assembly.

## Long description

BlueOptics QSFP28 Direct Attach Cable, 1 m, is a factory-terminated copper assembly designed for short-reach 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet interconnects. The cable features QSFP28 terminations on both ends and a 30 AWG conductor specification to provide consistent electrical performance for 100 Gbit/s links between switches, routers or server NICs in data center and server-room environments. This 1 metre length is intended for top-of-rack, adjacent-rack or within-rack connections where a direct-attach copper option is preferred over optical transceivers.
Advantages
The direct-attach construction delivers low-latency, power-efficient connectivity without separate transceiver modules, simplifying installation and reducing component count. The 30 AWG cable gauge balances flexibility and signal integrity for short links, while QSFP28 terminations ensure compatibility with equipment that supports 100GBASE-CR4 over direct-attach copper. A one-metre length minimizes excess cable in dense rack deployments and helps maintain airflow and cable management.
Suitable for
 Short-reach 100G Ethernet links in data centres
 Interconnects between top-of-rack switches and adjacent racks
 Direct connections between servers and 100G NICs
 High-density patching where low latency and low power are required
Key specifications
 Data rate: 100 Gbit/s (100GBASE-CR4)
 Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
 Cable length: 1 m
 Cable gauge: 30 AWG
 Media type: Copper direct attach
 Intended application: Short-reach Ethernet interconnects
How to use
Install the QSFP28 direct attach cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on the network devices until the connector latches. Ensure devices are powered down or that hot-plug insertion is supported and follows the device manufacturer's procedures. Verify link activity and speed using the network equipment management interface or LED indicators. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain a minimum bend radius consistent with copper assemblies to preserve signal integrity.
Usage recommendations
Use this 1 m QSFP28 direct attach cable for short, fixed connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures or mechanical stresses outside normal data centre conditions. For longer distances or when optical isolation is required, consider optical transceivers and fiber cabling instead of direct-attach copper.
