BlueLAN Compatible Amphenol NDAAFF-0002 QSFP28 Direct Attach-kabel, 100GBASE-CR4, InfiniBand EDR, 30AWG, 2 meter (NDAAFF-0002-BL)

The BlueLAN NDAAFF-0002-BL is a high-performance QSFP28 Direct Attach Cable (DAC) designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and Infiniband EDR applications. This passive copper cable provides a cost-effective, low-latency interconnect solution for data centers and high-performance computing environments. Fully compatible with Amphenol NDAAFF-0002, it ensures seamless integration with your existing network infrastructure.

Advantages

This DAC cable offers significant advantages over active optical cables: lower power consumption (passive design), reduced cost, and reliable performance over short distances. The 30 AWG wire gauge ensures flexibility and easy cable management, while the hot-pluggable QSFP28 connectors enable quick deployment and maintenance.
