Eaton N282-01M-28-BK Tripp Lite Series 100Gbe 1M DAC Cable

The Eaton N282-01M-28-BK is a high-performance 1-meter QSFP28 to QSFP28 passive direct attach copper (DAC) cable, engineered for robust connectivity in high-density networking environments. Designed to support 100-Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) and InfiniBand, it serves as a critical link for connecting active network equipment, high-end servers, and storage in data centers and enterprise wiring closets. This cable addresses the need for reliable, cost-effective, and low-latency interconnects over short distances, reducing power consumption and complexity compared to optical solutions. Utilizing 26 AWG copper conductors, this DAC cable combines four 28 Gbps SFP channels into a single high-density connection, optimizing bandwidth-intensive applications. Its construction integrates a 100G Ethernet-optimized, 38-position "board-as-connector" design with zinc die-cast male QSFP28 connectors. This design minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI), insertion loss, and crosstalk, ensuring stable and consistent high-frequency response. Compliance with IEEE 802.3bj, MSA SFF-8665, RoHS, and REACH standards guarantees interoperability and environmental responsibility. The cable is ideal for top-of-rack or inter-rack connections within data center architectures, where short runs are prevalent. Its passive nature eliminates the need for external power, simplifying deployment and management. The QSFP28 male connectors feature ergonomic pull-tab ejectors, facilitating quick and easy connections and disconnections in dense patching environments. It provides multi-platform support for not only 100GbE but also 128G Fibre Channel and EDR 4x InfiniBand, offering versatile connectivity options for diverse high-speed network infrastructures.
