BlueLAN 40G-DACP-QSFP5M-BL QSFP direct attach copper-kabel, 40GBASE-CR4, 5m, 28AWG, passief

The BlueLAN 40G-DACP-QSFP5M-BL is a high-performance QSFP Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand applications. This passive copper cable provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for short-range interconnects in data centers and high-performance computing environments. With a length of 5 meters and 28 AWG construction, it ensures reliable signal integrity and compliance with IEEE 802.3ba and SFF-8436 standards.

Advantages

This DAC cable offers several key benefits: it is hot-swappable, consumes less than 0.5W of power, and provides a robust, low-latency connection. The passive design eliminates the need for external power, reducing overall system power consumption. Its 100 Ohm impedance and 28 AWG gauge ensure optimal performance for 40GbE and InfiniBand QDR networks.
