Overview

100G QSFP28 to 2x 50G QSFP28 Copper Breakout Cable is a high-density, cost-effective solution designed to optimize network flexibility and scalability in modern data centers. This passive Direct Attach Cable (DAC) splits a single 100G QSFP28 port into two independent 50G (2x25G) channels, enabling efficient bandwidth allocation for connecting switches, routers, or servers to dual 50G devices. Supporting data rates up to 100Gbps aggregate (50Gbps per branch), it ensures ultra-low latency and reliable performance over short distances (up to 3 meters).

Built with premium copper conductors and shielded for EMI protection, the cable offers plug-and-play simplicity, reduced power consumption, and compatibility with QSFP28 ports. Its breakout design maximizes port utilization, reduces infrastructure costs, and simplifies upgrades in high-speed environments like cloud computing, AI clusters, or storage networks. Ideal for high-density deployments, this breakout DAC delivers a future-proof, energy-efficient alternative to optical transceivers, balancing performance and affordability for evolving 50G/100G architectures.
