## Summary description

The BlueOptics DAC-QSFP28-4SFP28-25G-3M-BL is a 3-meter DAC cable featuring a QSFP28 connector on one end and four SFP28 connectors on the other. It is designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and networking applications, providing reliable performance and efficient connectivity.

## Long description

The BlueOptics DAC-QSFP28-4SFP28-25G-3M-BL is a 3 m direct attach copper (DAC) cable with a QSFP28 connector on one end and four SFP28 connectors on the other. Designed for short-reach, high-speed links in racks and between adjacent racks, this passive twinax cable supports aggregated 100GBase-CR4 and 4x25GBase-CR electrical transmission over a 3 meter distance. Manufactured to MSA guidelines and intended for use in hardware platforms that support QSFP28-to-4xSFP28 DACs, it provides a straightforward, low-latency connection option for switches, routers and storage systems requiring up to 100 Gbit/s aggregated throughput.
Advantages
This 3 m DAC cable delivers reliable short-distance connectivity with low power consumption and minimal latency because it uses a passive twinax copper design. Compliance with MSA form factors and use of established component suppliers ensure compatibility with major networking hardware that supports QSFP28 and SFP28 interfaces. The compact, fixed-length cable simplifies installation in dense rack environments and reduces the need for external transceivers, lowering both purchase and operating costs.
Suitable for
 High-density rack-to-rack links and intra-rack connections
 Aggregated 100GBase-CR4 or 4x25GBase-CR short-reach links
 Switch-to-switch, switch-to-router or switch-to-storage system connections
 Data center top-of-rack and spine-leaf architectures requiring low latency
Key specifications
 Cable length: 3 m
 Connector type (end 1): QSFP28
 Connector type (end 2): 4 × SFP28
 Cable type: Passive twinax copper (DAC)
 Transmission: up to aggregated 100 Gbit/s (100GBase-CR4 / 4 × 25GBase-CR)
 Conductor gauge: 26 AWG
 Product colour: Black and Silver
 Weight: 0.25 kg
How to use
Install the DAC by firmly inserting the QSFP28 connector into the QSFP28 port on the source device and inserting each SFP28 connector into the corresponding SFP28 ports on the destination device(s). Ensure both devices officially support passive QSFP28-to-4xSFP28 DAC connections and the chosen transmission modes (100GBase-CR4 or 4x25GBase-CR). Route the cable to avoid tight bends, excessive strain or pinch points and secure it within the rack to maintain proper airflow and cable management. No external power or configuration of the cable itself is required; the connected hardware negotiates link parameters according to supported standards.
Usage recommendations
 For reliable operation, verify hardware compatibility with QSFP28-to-4xSFP28 passive DACs before deployment, keep the cable length within the specified 3 m for guaranteed signal performance, and avoid repeated flexing near the connector boots. Use in environments with appropriate ventilation and within the equipment manufacturer's recommended temperature range to maximize service life.
