Product Overview

The Lenovo 5m Passive 100G QSFP28 Direct Attach Cable is a robust networking solution engineered for high-speed data transfer applications. With QSFP28 male connectors on both ends, this cable enables seamless peer-to-peer connectivity at up to 100Gbps over a 5-meter span. As a passive cable, it relies on the electrical power of the connected devices, eliminating the need for additional signal conditioning or external transceivers.

Manufactured in Mexico and compliant with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA), this cable is suitable for government and enterprise deployments that demand regulatory compliance. It is ideal for linking switches, routers, servers, or storage elements within racks or across adjacent racks in high-performance computing or data center environments. The consistent and reliable signal quality of the DAC ensures low latency and minimal electromagnetic interference in tightly coupled deployments.

Its cost-efficient design and plug-and-play functionality make it an effective choice for IT administrators looking to upgrade or expand network performance with minimal configuration effort. Please note that technical parameters beyond interface type, TAA compliance, and physical length are unavailable.
