Keep 25 GbE interconnects efficient with a 3 m passive DAC built for short-distance data center links. This cable is a practical fit for SFP28 ports where teams want predictable latency, reduced power draw, and simpler cabling than optical transceivers and fiber. The 3 m reach is well suited to top-of-rack switch to server connections, adjacent rack patching, and other controlled deployments where copper direct attach is the right answer. By avoiding the added cost and complexity of optics, the cable helps streamline procurement while maintaining the throughput expected in modern switching environments. For infrastructure teams standardizing on AddOn Networks compatibility, this assembly supports clean, repeatable deployments across 25 GbE fabrics. It is a strong choice when you need dependable short-reach connectivity and a cable that fits dense rack layouts without unnecessary overhead.
