BlueLAN SC282801L2M30 QSFP28 Direct Attach-kabel, 100GBASE-CR4, Infiniband EDR, 30AWG, 2 meter (MCP1600-E002E26-BL)

The BlueLAN SC282801L2M30 is a high-performance QSFP28 Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand EDR 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 2 meters and 30 AWG wire gauge, it ensures reliable signal integrity and minimal latency. Compatible with NVIDIA/Mellanox MCP1600-E002E26 series, this cable is hot-pluggable and supports CAUI-4 electrical interface (4x 25Gbps lanes).

Advantages

Passive design consumes zero power, reducing overall energy costs. Pre-terminated and tested for immediate deployment, saving installation time. Low profile and flexible construction ease cable management in dense racks. Full compatibility with industry-standard QSFP28 ports ensures broad interoperability.
