## Summary description

BlueOptics QSFP28 direct attach cable, 2.0 meter length, designed for 100GBASE-CR4 and Infiniband EDR interconnects. Copper passive assembly with 30AWG conductors provides short-reach high-bandwidth links between QSFP28 ports in switches, routers and servers. Suitable for data center top-of-rack, spine connections and high-performance computing clusters.

## Long description

BlueOptics QSFP28 direct attach cable, 2.0 m length, is designed to provide short-reach, high-bandwidth connections for 100GBASE-CR4 and InfiniBand EDR environments. This passive copper assembly uses 30 AWG conductors and QSFP28 connectors to link compatible QSFP28 ports in switches, routers and servers. The cable is intended for use in data centre top-of-rack and spine deployments as well as high-performance computing clusters where reliable 100 Gbps links are required over short distances.
Advantages
The cable offers a low-latency, energy-efficient physical layer connection without the need for optical transceivers, reducing power draw and heat compared with active optical solutions. Its passive construction simplifies deployment and lowers acquisition cost for short interconnect runs. With QSFP28 form-factor compatibility and standard electrical signalling for 100GBASE-CR4 and InfiniBand EDR, the assembly provides straightforward interoperability with equipment that supports these interfaces.
Suitable for
Short-reach 100 Gbps links between top-of-rack switches and aggregation or spine switches
Direct connections between servers and switches in data centres
High-performance computing clusters using InfiniBand EDR interconnects
Patch and fixed interconnects inside network racks and cabinets
Key specifications
Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
Supported standards: 100GBASE-CR4, InfiniBand EDR
Cable length: 2.0 meters
Conductor gauge: 30 AWG (copper, passive)
Color: Blue
Typical usage: Short-reach, high-bandwidth copper DAC
How to use
Insert each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding QSFP28 port on network equipment until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the equipment manufacturer if performing installation on live systems. Verify link status through device LEDs or management software after connection. For removal, depress the connector latch and withdraw straight out to avoid damaging ports or the cable assembly.
Usage recommendations
Use this 2.0 m passive QSFP28 direct attach cable for short, fixed interconnects where 100 Gbps over copper is supported by both ends. Avoid tight bends, kinks, and excessive pulling force; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius for 30 AWG copper assemblies. Choose optical transceivers or active cables for longer reach or when electrical compatibility with equipment is uncertain.
