Axiom Memory 100CQQH3005-AX 0.5 m 100G QSFP28 DAC Cable

Connect adjacent QSFP28-equipped systems with a fixed 0.5 m copper interconnect for 100 GbE traffic. The Axiom Memory 100CQQH3005-AX is a passive 100GBASE-CR4 direct-attached copper cable, using the QSFP28 cable format for short-distance links between compatible ports. Its Intel-compatible designation targets environments using Intel-compatible QSFP28 interfaces. The short cable length fits equipment positioned close together, such as neighboring rack-mounted servers, storage systems, switches, or network appliances. Direct-attached copper cabling provides a physical port-to-port connection without the separate optical modules and fiber patch cable associated with an optical link. This makes the cable appropriate where the installed equipment layout supports a fixed 0.5 m reach. This specific configuration combines 100GBASE-CR4 signaling, QSFP28 connectivity, passive cable construction, Intel compatibility, and a 0.5 m length. Select it when both endpoints require the QSFP28 direct-attach cable format and are located within the cable's fixed reach. Passive construction distinguishes it from active cable assemblies by keeping the interconnect focused on short, close-coupled equipment links.
