HPE 100Gb QSFP28 to 4x25Gb SFP28 3m Direct Attach Copper Cable
The HPE 100Gb QSFP28 to 4x25Gb SFP28 3m Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for seamless connectivity in modern data centers. This breakout cable allows for the transition from a 100Gb QSFP28 port to four individual 25Gb SFP28 ports, facilitating efficient high-speed data transmission across server and switch infrastructure. With a length of 3 meters, it offers the necessary reach for rack-level interconnections while maintaining signal integrity and low latency performance required for demanding enterprise IT environments.
This direct attach copper cable provides a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to optical transceivers for short-reach applications. By utilizing a passive copper design, it eliminates the need for additional power consumption at the connection point, which helps in reducing overall data center operational costs. The cable is built to ensure reliable data throughput and minimal signal degradation, making it a dependable choice for high-density networking setups where consistent performance is critical for maintaining uptime and network stability.
This cable may not be suitable for long-distance networking requirements, as its passive copper design is optimized for short-reach connections within a single rack or adjacent racks. It is also not compatible with equipment that does not support the QSFP28 or SFP28 interface standards.
To install the cable, ensure that both the QSFP28 port on your switch or server and the four SFP28 ports on the target devices are powered off or configured for the breakout mode. Insert the QSFP28 connector into the primary port until it clicks into place, then connect each of the four SFP28 ends into the corresponding network interface cards or switch ports. Once connected, power on the equipment and verify the link status through your network management software to ensure proper data transmission.
Usage recommendations: Always handle the cable with care to avoid sharp bends or physical damage to the copper conductors. Ensure that the cable is properly routed through cable management systems to prevent strain on the connectors and to maintain optimal airflow within the server rack.
The HPE Direct Attach Copper cable provides a budget-friendly, high-performance alternative to traditional fiber optic solutions. Designed for seamless integration, it is fully SFF-8665 and RoHS compliant, ensuring industry-standard reliability for your networking infrastructure.
Engineered for data center environments, this 3-meter cable supports efficient 100Gb to 4x25Gb breakout configurations. It delivers low latency and superior signal integrity, making it the ideal choice for high-speed server-to-switch links in demanding enterprise IT setups.
