Specifications

Signal and Lane Configuration

The listed modulation format is 100G-PAM4 to 100G-PAM4. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.

Passive Copper Operation

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

At 1m (3ft), SFP112 to SFP112-100G-DAC-1M3FT is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.

Position Within the Length Range

SFP112 to SFP112-100G-DAC-1M3FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP112 to SFP112-100G-DAC-0.5M2FT at 0.5m (2ft) and SFP112 to SFP112-100G-DAC-1.5M5FT at 1.5m (5ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 0.5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

Procurement and Port-Mapping Review

A useful purchase order should identify the host platform, the expected OEM code and the exact cable length as separate pieces of information. This prevents a physically similar assembly from being substituted when the port identification or reach is different. For mixed-length installations, prepare one order line per part number and reconcile each delivered cable with its intended pair of ports. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 28AWG; the minimum bend radius is 20mm; the stated power consumption is <0.15W; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR).

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is <0.15W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses 28AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 20mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is 100G Ethernet.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

Our procurement-oriented compatibility check begins with the OEM reference and ends with a live host link. We record the physical length separately from the identification configuration, so the cable supplied for this page remains the stated version rather than a generic length substitute. Where supported by the host, link stability and diagnostic indications are reviewed together with the established link.

Ordering Information

For a clear bill of materials, quote the OEM reference, HT part number, length and quantity on the same line. Add the switch or server model and software release when a pre-order review is required; project labels can repeat those details for receiving and installation teams. Keep SFP112 to SFP112-100G-DAC-1M3FT associated with 1m (3ft) throughout the order and receiving record.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Before packing, the assembly is checked for connector condition, identification and link operation. Cables for multi-line orders can be labelled and grouped by part number, making it easier to match each length to the procurement record without opening every protective bag. Neutral packaging and customer-specific packing documentation are available on request.
