## Summary description

Copper Direct Attach QSFP28 cable by BlueOptics (MPN 980-9I62G-00C02A-BL) provides a 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet connection over a 3 meter 26AWG assembly. Designed for short-reach, high-speed links between switches, routers or QSFP28 ports in data centers and server racks. Passive cable suitable for cost-effective 100 Gb/s interconnects and top-of-rack deployments.

## Long description

BlueOptics Direct Attach QSFP28 cable in blue is a passive copper assembly providing a 100GBASE-CR4 electrical interface over a 3 m length. The cable uses 26AWG conductors and QSFP28 connectors to deliver 100 Gb/s full duplex links for short-reach connectivity between network devices. It is designed for use in data centers and server racks where high-density, low-latency interconnects are required for switches, routers and aggregation equipment.
Advantages
This Direct Attach QSFP28 cable offers a cost-effective solution for short-reach 100 Gb/s links. The 3 m length and 26AWG construction balance flexibility and signal integrity for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack connections. The QSFP28 interface ensures compatibility with devices that support 100GBASE-CR4 electrical interconnects, while the passive design reduces power consumption compared with active cables or optical transceivers with separate fiber assemblies.
Suitable for
 Short-reach 100 Gb/s links between switches and routers
 Top-of-rack and adjacent-rack interconnections in data centers
 Server to switch high-density port connections
 Patch and aggregation links in network racks
Key specifications
 Data rate: 100 Gb/s (100GBASE-CR4)
 Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
 Cable gauge: 26 AWG
 Length: 3 meters
 Cable type: Passive copper direct attach
 Color: Blue
How to use
Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on your network devices, ensuring the latch engages securely. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment vendor. Because this is a passive copper assembly, no additional configuration or power source is required; devices will negotiate 100GBASE-CR4 electrical signaling if supported by their ports and firmware.
Usage recommendations
Use this cable for short-distance 100 Gb/s links within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid routing near high-power sources or excessive heat, and do not exceed manufacturer-recommended bend radius. Verify device compatibility with passive QSFP28 copper assemblies and update device firmware where necessary to ensure proper link negotiation.
