## Summary description

CBO QSFP28-DAC-5M is a 5-meter direct-attach copper (DAC) cable compatible with NetApp QSFP28 ports. Designed for high-speed 100GbE short-reach connections, it connects QSFP28 devices in racks or between adjacent switches, servers and storage. Provides low latency, energy-efficient operation and simple plug-and-play installation for data center and enterprise networks.

## Long description

CBO QSFP28-DAC-5M is a 5-meter direct-attach copper (DAC) cable designed for short-reach 100GbE connections and compatible with NetApp QSFP28 ports. The cable links QSFP28 devices such as switches, servers and storage within racks or between adjacent racks to enable high-throughput, low-latency communication. Its passive copper construction supports energy-efficient operation and plug-and-play installation, making it suitable for constrained data center topologies and enterprise environments that require reliable, high-speed intra-rack or top-of-rack connectivity.
Advantages
The CBO QSFP28-DAC-5M delivers high bandwidth for 100 Gigabit Ethernet connections while keeping latency and power consumption low compared to active optical or longer copper solutions. Its fixed 5 m length simplifies cable management for short interconnects, and the direct-attach QSFP28-to-QSFP28 form factor eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing component count and simplifying replacement. Compatibility with NetApp QSFP28 ports ensures straightforward interoperability in systems that use that interface standard.
Suitable for
 Short-reach 100GbE connections inside server racks
 Interconnects between adjacent switches or top-of-rack switching
 Direct server-to-storage links in data center environments
 Environments that prioritize low latency and low power usage
Key specifications
 Connector type: QSFP28 to QSFP28 direct-attach copper
 Length: 5 meters
 Supported data rate: 100 Gigabit Ethernet
 Cable type: Twinax / copper DAC, passive
 Typical use case: Short-reach intra-rack or adjacent-rack interconnects
 Form factor: Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP28)
How to use
Install the cable by inserting each QSFP28 connector into the corresponding port on compatible devices until the latch engages. Ensure both endpoints support QSFP28 100GbE operation and that network ports are powered and configured according to your switch or server firmware requirements. No separate transceiver or external power source is required for passive operation. For best results, route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive strain on the connectors.
Usage recommendations
Verify compatibility with the specific firmware and hardware revision of your NetApp or other QSFP28-enabled devices before deployment. Maintain bend radius and connector cleanliness to ensure signal integrity; avoid kinking or crushing the cable and use proper cable management to minimize electromagnetic interference and mechanical stress.
