Overview
Siemon QSFP28 Passive Copper Cable assemblies exceed 100G Ethernet (100GBASE-CR4) specifications. They are designed for high-density applications, offering a cost-effective, low-power option for high-speed data center interconnects. This next generation product shares the same mating interface with QSFP+ (SFF-8436) form factors, making it backward compatible with existing QSFP+ ports. These direct attach cable assemblies are available in standard lengths up to 5 meters (16.4 ft.) for support of up to 100G Ethernet applications.
- Positive retention pull-release latch system
- High-Density QSFP28 connector
- Ultra low crosstalk for enhanced performance
- PCB Termination - Laser stripped conductors
- PCB Termination - Overmold provides additional strain relief to minimize pistoning
- PCB Termination - Automatic welding for unmatched consistency
- PCB Termination - Welding results in less dielectric shrink-back than soldering
