Network Cable BlueOptics MCC1V30A-001 QSFP DAC SC253501K1M30 1m Blue

The BlueOptics MCC1V30A-001 QSFP DAC SC253501K1M30 1m Blue is a direct-attach copper cable engineered for short-reach high-speed interconnects in data center and networking environments. At 1 meter length, this QSFP direct attach cable provides a low-latency, low-power connection between compatible QSFP ports, suitable for top-of-rack switches, servers and storage systems. The cable’s blue jacket and compact form factor help with visual identification and structured cabling in dense racks.

Advantages

This QSFP DAC cable offers predictable electrical performance with minimal attenuation across its 1 m length, enabling stable signal transmission for 40/100 Gb/s interconnects where supported. Its pre-terminated, passive design eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing power consumption and simplifying installation. The robust outer jacket and strain-relief features increase mechanical durability and maintain consistent contact integrity in rack-mounted equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between QSFP ports in switches and servers
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row network cabling within data centers
• High-density rack installations where color-coded cabling aids management
• Low-latency interconnects for storage area networks and cluster computing

Key specifications

• Interface type: QSFP direct attach copper (DAC)
• Length: 1 meter
• Conductor: copper twinax (pre-terminated)
• Data rates supported: suitable for 40/100 Gb/s applications where port support exists
• Jacket color: blue
• Connector housing: QSFP form-factor with integrated latch

How to use

Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port until the latch engages; ensure ports on both ends are compatible with direct-attach copper cables. Route the cable to avoid excessive bending and strain; maintain recommended bend radius for twinax cables to prevent signal degradation. When removing the cable, press the connector latch and pull straight to avoid damaging the port. Verify link status on connected devices after installation and consult equipment documentation for any vendor-specific compatibility settings.

Usage recommendations

Choose this 1 m QSFP DAC cable for short-distance, high-bandwidth links inside racks. For longer runs or where optical isolation is required, use fiber-optic transceivers and appropriate fiber cabling. Confirm that connected equipment supports passive QSFP direct-attach copper links and that firmware or driver requirements are met for optimal operation.
