Description

The Sopto SPH-QSFP28-C 100G Passive DAC is designed to deliver 100 Gbps full-duplex bandwidth between QSFP28 interfaces, making it the perfect choice for next-generation data centers and enterprise networks. By replacing expensive optical transceivers and fiber, this passive copper solution reduces both deployment cost and power consumption while providing reliable performance.

Engineered for short-distance interconnects (typically up to 3–5 m depending on AWG), the SPH-QSFP28-C series complies with SFF-8665 and QSFP28 standards, ensuring interoperability with major networking vendors. With hot-pluggable QSFP28 connectors, operators can easily deploy or replace links in live environments without service disruption.

Available in multiple lengths (e.g., 1 m, 3 m, 5 m) and conductor sizes such as AWG26 / AWG30, these cables are well-suited for switch-to-switch, server-to-switch, and storage applications in dense rack environments. Featuring robust PVC jacketing, they combine durability, flexibility, and superior signal integrity for mission-critical workloads.

With its combination of high throughput, low latency, and reliability, the Sopto SPH-QSFP28-C provides a future-proof interconnect solution for 100G environments.
