Add-On CAB-D-2Q-200G-2M-AO Direct Attach Copper Cable
Overview
The Add-On CAB-D-2Q-200G-2M-AO is a 2-meter Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-density, high-speed networking environments. This cable facilitates direct connections between network devices, such as switches and servers, eliminating the need for transceivers and reducing power consumption and latency. It's engineered for short-reach applications where 200 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is required across two QSFP28 ports.
Compatibility
This DAC cable is built to connect devices featuring two 100G QSFP28 ports. It is suitable for interconnections within racks or between adjacent racks, commonly found in data center aggregation layers or high-performance computing clusters. Verify your network equipment, including switches and NICs, supports 2x 100G QSFP28 interfaces for a direct link.
Installation Notes
Ensure the QSFP28 ports on both connected devices are clean and free of debris before inserting the cable ends. The connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Apply firm, even pressure to seat the connectors fully. The 2-meter length provides flexibility for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections without excessive cable slack.
