Axiom Memory X66211B-5-AX 5 m 100G QSFP28 Passive DAC Cable

Connect compatible 100 GbE QSFP28 interfaces across a 5 m copper run with a passive direct-attach cable assembly. 100GBASE-CR4 carries 100 Gbps Ethernet over four copper lanes, making this cable type appropriate where equipment ports are close enough for direct copper interconnection. Its integrated QSFP28 ends connect directly to corresponding QSFP28 cages without separate transceiver modules or fiber patch cords. Axiom Memory X66211B-5-AX is specified as a NetApp-compatible passive DAC cable. That compatibility focus matters when selecting replacement or expansion connectivity for NetApp environments that require the expected QSFP28 direct-attach interface. Verify that both connected ports support 100GBASE-CR4 passive copper operation and that a 5 m cable route suits the equipment layout, cable-management path, and service clearance. The 5 m length distinguishes this assembly from shorter direct-attach options intended only for immediately adjacent devices. It can span a longer within-rack route or a nearby rack position while retaining the passive copper architecture. Passive DAC assemblies are a focused choice for supported short-reach 100 GbE connections: the cable provides the fixed QSFP28-to-QSFP28 physical link, while port compatibility remains determined by the connected network equipment.
