SEESUO 100G QSFP28 To 4SFP28 DAC Passive Cable is a high performance passive copper cable for 100x Gigabit Ethernet data links. This cable merges a 100x Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 connector to 4x 25x Gigabit Ethernet SFP28 connectors. Several cable lengths are available, up to 3m. This transceiver module is compliant with the Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP28) and the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) Multisource Agreement (MSA) and hot pluggable.
Our 100GBase QSFP28 to 4x25G SFP28 passive direct attach breakout cable operates over passive copper with lengths of between 1-5m. Our 100G 100G DAC breakout cable connects one 100G port to up to four 25G Ethernet ports i.e.: 1 x QSFP28 (100G) one end and 4 x SFP28 (4x25G) on the other end.
It is suitable for very short distances and provides a cost-efficient way to connect hardware within close proximity racks. Of course, these solutions are constrained by distance between the hardware ports, but it can be a very straightforward, cost effective option in the right short reach environment.
With our compatibility guarantee you can be sure we only sell products that meet or exceed the vendor specification with compliance to all MSA standards and protocols including IEEE802.3bj, InfiniBand EDR, MSA SFF-8665 & SFF-8402.
We can Customise to your requirements. Please contact us do discuss your requirements.

FAQ:
Q:Can this DAC be customized for lengths shorter than 0.5m? What is the shortest length if possible?
A:The minimum length can be 0.3m, but 0.3m certainly does not meet the 8dB limit of IEEE IL, and if the attenuation is too high, the switch may also have error codes.
Q:Can I have different compatibilities for each end of my direct attach cables?
A:Yes, you can. SEESUO.COM offers customized dual compatibility solutions for direct attach cables so that you can choose compatibilities for each end individually. All you need to do is to select "Dual Compatibility Solutions" option in Compatible Brands drop-down box and note down your devices' model numbers in custom page.
