## Summary description

Passive copper direct attach cable (DAC) CBO QSFP28-DAC-0.5M, 0.5 m length, with QSFP28 connectors at both ends. Designed for short-range 100Gbps connections between switches, routers or network adapters supporting QSFP28 ports. Provides low-latency, power-efficient link for data center top-of-rack cabling and server-to-switch links.

## Long description

BlueOptics DAC cable CBO QSFP28-DAC-0.5M is a 0.5 m passive copper direct attach cable with QSFP28 connectors on both ends. It is engineered for short-range 100 Gbps links and is suitable for direct connections between switches, routers and network adapters that provide QSFP28 ports. The cable offers a compact, low-power alternative to optical transceivers for top-of-rack and server-to-switch interconnects in data center environments.
Advantages
The passive copper construction delivers low latency and minimal power consumption compared with active optical modules, while the short 0.5 m length ensures minimal signal attenuation for reliable 100 Gbps transmission. Built with QSFP28 interfaces on both ends, the cable supports straightforward hot-plug installation and maintains electrical compatibility with standard QSFP28 ports. Its fixed-length form factor reduces inventory complexity and simplifies cabling in dense rack deployments.
Suitable for
 Short-range 100 Gbps links between switches in the same rack
 Server-to-switch connections in data center top-of-rack configurations
 High-density patching where low latency and low power are required
 Temporary or permanent direct attach links in lab and test environments
Key specifications
 Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28
 Length: 0.5 m
 Transmission: 100 Gbps passive copper DAC
 Latency: low-latency electrical interconnect
 Power: passive design with minimal power draw compared to active modules
 Usage environment: short-range, within-rack and adjacent-rack connections
How to use
Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP28 ports and proper link configuration before installation. With power to the connected devices turned on or off according to your site procedures, align the QSFP28 connector latches with the port and insert the cable straight into the port until the latch engages. Verify link status through the switch or adapter management interface and confirm 100 Gbps operation. For removal, depress the connector latch and withdraw the cable in a straight motion to avoid damaging the port.
Usage recommendations
Use this 0.5 m passive QSFP28 DAC for within-rack or adjacent-rack connections where 100 Gbps bandwidth, low latency and low power consumption are priorities. Avoid exceeding the intended short-reach use and route the cable to prevent sharp bends or mechanical strain on the QSFP28 connectors.
