Generic Compatible 100G QSFP28 to (x4) 25G SFP28 Passive Direct Attach Copper Breakout Cable - 1 Meter in Total Length

This is a high-quality Generic Compatible 100G QSFP28 to SFP28  Passive DAC (Direct Attach Cable) Copper cable. It is a cost-effective solution that provides high bandwidth and transmission rates over short distances. 100G QSFP28 to 4x 25G SFP28 Copper Breakout Cable application is a "break-out" assembly which is a hybrid transition from a QSFP28 on one terminal to four individual SFP28 on the other. The QSFP28 to 4x SFP28 Break-out DAC offers four parallel, bi-directional channels each operating at up to 25Gbps. Each DAC cable is 100% optically inspected and tested for compatibility before shipping.

A direct attach cable, short for DAC cable, is a type of factory terminated twinax cable that connects directly into transceivers and can be brought in several lengths for short distances of up to 15 meters. These cables consist of fixed lengths of shielded copper coaxial or fiber optic cable with single pluggable transceivers at either end, that have varying gauge values between 24AWG and 30AWG. The DAC cable may be capable of interconnection up to 15 meters using a twinaxial copper cable and reaches 100 meters over an active optical cable at 10Gbps, 40Gbps or higher.

DAC Cables can be either passive or active. The passive direct attach cable has no electrical components, which results in less power consumption. Active direct attach cables are composed of electrical components, so they use more power, but gain more distance and increase signal strength. Active cables are more expensive and consume more power when in use compared to passive cables.
