Mellanox MCP1600-C003AE30 Compatible 100G QSFP28 Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) Cable, 3m (10ft)
- Mellanox MCP1600-C003AE30 compatible passive Direct Attach Copper cable, programmed and tested on Mellanox equipment before shipping
- Full 100Gbps / 100GbE throughput over QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectors, factory terminated at both ends
- 3 meter (10ft) Twinax copper 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 and spine switch links, top-of-rack switch to server, and high-speed storage uplinks

This Mellanox MCP1600-C003AE30 compatible 100G QSFP28 passive Direct Attach Copper cable is a factory terminated 3 meter link for 100 Gigabit Ethernet. The QSFP28 connectors are fixed to the Twinax copper at both ends, so there are no transceivers to buy separately and no fiber ends to clean or align.
Passive DAC uses almost no power and adds almost no latency, which makes it the default choice for short 100G connections: leaf and spine switch links, top-of-rack switch to server, and high-speed storage uplinks. At 3 meters this is one of the longest common passive lengths, enough to span rack to rack or run through overhead cable management while still avoiding the cost of optics and fiber. The cable is plug and play, hot swappable, and built to 100 impedance to hold signal integrity at 100Gbps.
Operating range is 0°C to 70°C with storage from -40°C to 85°C, and the cable meets MSA, SFF-8665 and RoHS requirements. Each unit is programmed and tested on Mellanox equipment before it ships.
