Cabo breakout Direct Attach passivo BLUEOPTICS compatível com Palo Alto Networks QSFP28-4SFP28-DAC-2M, 2m, AWG26

The BLUEOPTICS Q28-4S28-DAC-2M-PA-BL is a high-performance passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) breakout cable designed for compatibility with Palo Alto Networks equipment. It converts a single QSFP28 port into four SFP28 ports, enabling 100GBASE-CR4 to 4x25GBASE-CR connectivity. Ideal for high-speed data center interconnects, this cable delivers reliable, low-latency performance.

Advantages

Cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers with ultra-low power consumption. Passive design ensures zero power draw, reducing overall energy costs. Hot-swappable and MSA compliant for seamless integration. Robust construction with AWG26 gauge copper conductors ensures signal integrity over 2 meters.
