Description

Lenovo 7Z57A03563 DAC Cable

Overview

The Lenovo 7Z57A03563 is a 5-meter passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) network connections. It provides a cost-effective, low-latency solution for short-reach interconnects within racks, enabling direct server-to-server or server-to-switch communication without the need for transceivers. This cable is ideal for environments requiring maximum bandwidth and minimal signal delay.

Compatibility

This 100Gb QSFP28 DAC cable is engineered for direct integration with Lenovo ThinkSystem servers and network adapters. It is specifically compatible with systems utilizing QSFP28 ports, including but not limited to network adapters such as the ThinkSystem Broadcom 57508 100GbE QSFP56 2-Port PCIe 4 Ethernet Adapter (4XC7A08297) and the ThinkSystem Broadcom 57508 100GbE QSFP56 2-Port OCP Ethernet Adapter (4XC7A08243). Verify your specific server model and network adapter specifications for QSFP28 port compatibility.

Installation Notes

This is a passive DAC cable, meaning it requires no external power. Ensure the QSFP28 ports on both the server and the connecting device are clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable is designed for direct connection and should be handled with care to avoid damaging the connectors. The operating temperature range is 0 to 55 °C (32 to 131 °F), and operating humidity is 5 to 95% non-condensing.
