Struggling with unreliable high-speed links in your data centre? The Origin Storage MA-CBL-100G-3M 3m 100GBase-CU DAC Cable is a passive twinax direct-attach copper cable that delivers 100 Gbps between QSFP28 ports, eliminating the need for transceivers and reducing latency.
Key Features of a 3 m DAC cable
- Connector type: QSFP28 - male on both ends, fits standard 100GBase-CU ports.
- Cable technology: Passive Twinax - no active electronics, so it’s plug-and-play.
- Length: 3 m - provides enough reach for rack-to-rack connections without excess slack.
- Colour: Black - blends discreetly with most equipment racks.
- AWG: 26/30 - thin yet robust conductors for reliable signal transmission.
- Jacket material: PVC - durable outer coating protects against wear.
- Features: Halogen-free, round, push-pull connector - safe and easy to install.
- Bending radius: 33 mm - allows tight routing in cramped spaces.
- Compliance: Plug and Play, EMC, FCC, RoHS, REACH - meets global safety and emission standards.
- Support: Infiniband - compatible with additional high-performance networking protocols.
Origin Storage DAC cable
If you manage a modern server farm or high-performance compute cluster, you know that every gigabit counts. Traditional fibre solutions can be costly and require extra modules, while unmanaged copper links often suffer from signal loss. This Origin Storage DAC cable offers a straightforward, cost-effective way to achieve full 100 Gbps throughput without the hassle of extra optics, perfect for anyone looking to streamline their network architecture.
Benefits of Origin Storage DAC cable
- Cost-effective: No transceivers needed, saving on component expenses.
- Easy installation: Push-pull connectors snap in quickly, reducing downtime.
- High reliability: Passive design means fewer points of failure.
- Space-saving: Thin cable and short bend radius fit tight rack layouts.
- Safe operation: Halogen-free material lowers fire risk.
Usages of a 3 m DAC cable
Ideal for connecting switches, servers, and storage arrays within a single rack or between adjacent racks, this cable is perfect for data centre top-of-rack deployments, high-performance computing clusters, and any environment that demands fast, reliable 100 Gbps links without the complexity of fibre optics.
