The JBX06479 2m Fortinet Compatible 25GBASE-CR SFP28 Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable represents an excellent solution for organizations requiring high-performance, cost-effective network connectivity. This meticulously engineered cable bridges the gap between performance and economy in modern data center infrastructure. **Key Features and Specifications:** This passive DAC cable leverages 30AWG twinax copper conductor technology, delivering consistent 25GB data rates over its 2-meter length. The SFP28 to SFP28 connector configuration ensures seamless integration with Fortinet and other compatible network equipment. Unlike active cables, the passive design eliminates external power requirements, reducing operational complexity and energy consumption while lowering total cost of ownership. **Compliance and Safety:** The cable meets rigorous industry standards including IEEE 802.3by, SFF-8402, and SFF-8472 specifications. RoHS certification and compliance with EU directive 2002/95/EC demonstrate commitment to environmental sustainability and hazardous substance reduction. Additional safety certifications from TUV and UL provide confidence in reliability and durability. **Ideal Applications:** Perfect for data center interconnects, server rack communications, and enterprise network backbone deployments. The 2-meter length accommodates typical switch-to-server and inter-switch connections without excessive cable management complexity. Passive operation makes it especially suitable for high-density environments where thermal management and space constraints are concerns. **Performance Advantages:** Passive DAC cables provide superior latency characteristics compared to active alternatives, crucial for latency-sensitive applications. The 30AWG copper construction ensures optimal signal integrity over the 2-meter span, with minimal attenuation and crosstalk. Operating temperatures from 0-70°C accommodate standard data center thermal ranges. **Warranty and Support:** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, the cable includes customer support and hassle-free replacement options. Available with custom brand programming capabilities for enterprise deployments. Qualified to directly replace Fortinet OEM part number FN-CABLE-SFP28-2, ensuring compatibility and reducing procurement complexity. **Logistics and Ordering:** Shipped from conveniently located US facilities (Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC), ensuring rapid delivery. Qualified for free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, reducing deployment costs. Manufactured to exacting standards in Vietnam and China, combining quality construction with competitive pricing.
