Approved Networks Juniper/Arista 100GBASE QSFP28 Passive DAC Cable (QSFP28 to 4 x SFP28) Multi-Vendor Breakout Length Required

A passive DAC cable carries an Ethernet signal over a short length (typically under five meters) of copper with no additional components to boost the signal. The host networking equipment must support the signal processing functions for a passive DAC to work. When a DAC is inserted, networking gear that is compatible with passive DACs reads the module type so the signal conditioning can be activated. Today, 98% of the market utilizes passive DACs for transmissions of seven meters and under, but this depends on the data rate.

Upgrade your network infrastructure with the high-performance 100GBASE QSFP28 Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Breakout Cable. This cable provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for connecting your 100GbE QSFP28 port to four separate 25GbE SFP28 ports on various compatible devices, enabling seamless multi-vendor integration.

Stress or conditions exceed the above range may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those listed in the operational sections of this specification is not applied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability
