The JBX05810 3-meter 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 passive direct attach copper cable represents enterprise-grade connectivity designed specifically for Palo Alto Networks security appliances and network infrastructure. This high-density interconnect solution delivers 100GB/s throughput with minimal latency, making it ideal for mission-critical data center environments. Technical Specifications & Features: This passive DAC cable utilizes 28AWG twinax copper construction, providing superior signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference. The dual QSFP28 connectors feature copper contact design for excellent conductivity and durability. Operating within a 0-70°C temperature range, the cable maintains consistent performance across varied data center conditions. At just 3 meters in length, it's optimally sized for intra-rack and adjacent-rack connectivity without excessive cable management overhead. Compliance & Certification: Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3bj specifications, QSFP28 MSA, and SFF-8665 standards. The cable meets RoHS and ELV directives (EU 2002/95/EC), with TUV and UL safety certifications. This ensures compatibility with modern network infrastructure and environmental regulations. Performance Advantages: As a passive DAC solution, the cable requires no external power, reducing operational complexity and heat generation. The passive design means zero latency introduction, critical for latency-sensitive applications. Compared to active cables or fiber optics, passive DAC offers superior cost-efficiency while maintaining enterprise-grade performance. Applications: Ideal for data center networking, enterprise server connectivity, storage area networks (SANs), high-performance computing clusters, and cloud infrastructure environments.
