Dell DAC-QSFP28-100G-3M Compatible 100G QSFP28 Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cable, 3m (10ft)
- Dell DAC-QSFP28-100G-3M compatible passive Direct Attach Copper cable, programmed and tested on Dell equipment before shipping
- Full 100Gbps / 100GbE throughput over QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectors, factory terminated at both ends
- 3 meter (10ft) Twinax copper, the longest common passive length, for rack to rack runs and overhead cable management
- No optics required, which removes the cost of separate transceivers and fiber patch cords from every link
- Near-zero power draw and latency, since a passive design carries the signal with no active electronics in the path
- 100 impedance construction holds signal integrity at full 100G line rate
- Plug and play, hot swappable, so links can be moved without taking equipment offline
- Built for data center duty: 0°C to 70°C operating, -40°C to 85°C storage, MSA, SFF-8665 and RoHS compliant
- Common uses: leaf to spine switch links, top-of-rack switch to server, and high-speed storage uplinks

The Dell DAC-QSFP28-100G-3M compatible 100G QSFP28 passive Direct Attach Copper cable gives you a complete 100 Gigabit Ethernet link in one ready to use 3 meter assembly. Both QSFP28 ends come factory terminated onto the Twinax copper, so there are no optics to source and nothing to align or clean during install.
With no active electronics in the signal path, a passive DAC draws next to no power and adds virtually no latency compared with an optical link. That combination is why it remains the standard for short 100G runs: leaf to spine switch connections, top-of-rack switch to server, and high-speed storage uplinks. At 3 meters this is the longest of the common passive lengths, enough to span rack to rack or run through overhead cable management while still avoiding the cost of optics and fiber. A 100 impedance build holds the signal clean at 100Gbps, and the cable is hot swappable so links can be changed without taking equipment offline.
The assembly runs from 0°C to 70°C, stores from -40°C to 85°C, and meets MSA, SFF-8665 and RoHS requirements. Every cable is programmed and tested on Dell equipment before shipping.
