## Summary description

Copper Direct Attach Cable by BlueOptics, model 980-9I62X-00C003-BL, supports 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet links over 26AWG conductors and measures 3 meters. Designed for short-reach high-speed interconnects between switches, routers and NICs that accept CR4 passive DACs. Suitable for data center top-of-rack connections, server interconnects and switch stacking where a 3 m passive 100Gbps link is required.

## Long description

BlueOptics Direct Attach Cable 100GBASE-CR4 is a passive copper twinax assembly designed to provide a short-reach 100Gbps Ethernet interconnect. The cable uses 26AWG conductors and a 3 m length to deliver reliable connections between switches, routers and network interface cards that support CR4 passive DAC modules. Intended for data center top-of-rack, server-to-switch and switch-stacking applications, this cable offers a fixed, low-latency physical link for high-bandwidth traffic in rack and adjacent-rack environments.
Advantages
The passive 100GBASE-CR4 design minimizes power consumption compared with active optical modules by eliminating transceivers and optics while maintaining full 100Gbps throughput. Using 26AWG conductors and factory-matched assembly ensures consistent signal integrity across the 3 m span and simplified installation without additional transceiver configuration. The cable’s standardized CR4 interface provides plug-and-play compatibility with equipment that accepts passive DACs, enabling predictable latency and reduced operational complexity.
Suitable for
 Top-of-rack connections between switches and servers in data centers
 Server-to-switch links in high-density racks
 Switch stacking and short-reach interconnects within the same or adjacent racks
 High-throughput links for NICs that accept CR4 passive DACs
Key specifications
 Interface type: 100GBASE-CR4 passive twinax
 Conductor gauge: 26AWG
 Nominal length: 3 meters
 Data rate: 100 Gbps aggregate (CR4 lanes)
 Typical application: short-reach rack and adjacent-rack interconnects
 Connector form factor: CR4 passive DAC compatible
How to use
Ensure both endpoints accept passive CR4 direct attach cables and that ports are rated for 100Gbps operation. Power down or follow hot-plug guidance from your equipment vendor if required, then align and insert each connector into the corresponding port until it seats securely. Verify link status and speed through the switching or server management interface. For cable routing, avoid tight bends and compressive strain near connector heads to preserve conductor integrity and signal performance.
Usage recommendations
Use this 3 m passive DAC for short, fixed connections inside racks or between adjacent racks where 100Gbps throughput and low latency are required. Avoid use in longer-span runs or environments requiring active signal conditioning. Maintain bend radii consistent with manufacturer guidance and inspect connectors for debris before insertion to ensure reliable links.
