This 3-meter passive copper cable is designed to connect QSFP28 ports for 100GbE data transfer. It’s often found in data centers where high-speed, short-reach connections between servers and switches are required. Built for environments where low latency and energy efficiency matter, it’s favored by network engineers and IT professionals managing dense, high-performance setups.

Key Features

• Delivers reliable 100GbE connectivity over short distances without the need for additional transceivers
• Supports QSFP28 form factor ensuring easy integration with compatible network hardware
• Passive design reduces power consumption and heat output compared to active cables
• 3-meter length balances reach and signal integrity for rack-to-rack connections
• Engineered for compatibility with Mellanox MCP1600 and similar switches

This cable is typically deployed within server racks or between adjacent racks in data centers, enabling efficient high-speed communication. Its passive copper construction helps keep operational costs down while maintaining performance, making it an effective choice for tight networking environments.
