This QSFP DAC cable is engineered for use with Lenovo networking equipment, servers, and storage systems that utilize QSFP ports. It is also compatible with InfiniBand protocols, making it suitable for high-performance computing clusters and other environments where high bandwidth and low latency are critical. Verify your specific equipment's QSFP port specifications for direct compatibility.

Installation Notes

As a passive DAC cable, the Lenovo 00KF003 requires no power input and offers a straightforward plug-and-play installation. Ensure the QSFP ports on both devices are clean and free of debris before insertion. The connectors are designed for secure mating but should be handled with care to avoid pin damage. The cable's 1-meter length is ideal for within-rack connections, minimizing cable clutter and signal degradation.
