For short reach 100Gbps links in 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) offers a factory terminated passive twinax assembly with QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectors and a length of 0.5m (1.64ft). As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. The cable meets QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8662, IEEE 802.3.

Applications
Designed for 100G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 100G QSFP28 4x 25G NRZ Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) carries 100Gbps between QSFP28 to QSFP28 interfaces. This unit is offered in 7 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 5m (16ft). Because the assembly is factory terminated and tested as a complete link, installation is plug and play on both ends. For networks standardized on Cisco hardware, it is a drop-in equivalent of the QSFP-100G-CU0.5M.
Standards and Compatibility
On the compatibility side, this unit is the practical equivalent of the Cisco part QSFP-100G-CU0.5M and works in Cisco systems out of the box. Standards compliance covers QSFP28 MSA, SFF-8662, IEEE 802.3.
Ordering Information
The part number changes with length: QSFP-100G-PC005 is the shortest standard option. Available lengths are 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 2.5m (8ft), 3m (10ft) and 5m (16ft). If you need a length outside this list, our factory can build it to order. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.
How We Ship
Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.
Our Testing Process
Production samples and every outgoing batch pass through bit-error-rate measurement, temperature verification and plug-in compatibility checks on mainstream switches and routers. Because we are the manufacturer, any issue found in testing is fed back to the production line immediately instead of being passed on to customers.
Packaging
Each unit is sealed in an anti-static bag, cushioned in a blister tray and boxed in an export-grade carton. Outer cartons carry handling marks and can be palletized for air or sea freight. If your project requires retail boxes, barcodes or your own brand on the label, we can arrange that as well.
Custom-made Fiber Products
As a manufacturer serving the fiber optic industry since 1995, we have strong in-house manufacturing and design capability. From early GBIC, Xenpak and X2 modules to today's SFP, SFP+, QSFP, QSFP-DD and OSFP products, we grow together with the industry. OEM and custom-designed transceivers and cables are welcome, and our factory-direct pricing is very competitive compared with online retail stores.
