Axiom 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 Passive DAC Cable 5 m

Keep 100G links direct, compact, and cost-conscious with this 5 m QSFP28 passive DAC cable for Fortinet-compatible deployments. It is built for short-reach interconnects where copper is the right answer: adjacent racks, top-of-rack to server links, and other close-proximity paths that do not justify optical transceivers. The passive design keeps the assembly simple while supporting the high-throughput connections modern infrastructure depends on. At 5 m, this cable gives teams more placement flexibility than a 1 m assembly without moving into the complexity of optics. That makes it useful in real-world rack layouts where equipment is not always perfectly aligned. It also helps reduce cable clutter compared with longer runs, supporting cleaner airflow and easier maintenance. For procurement teams, the value is straightforward: one cable, fewer parts, and a practical fit for Fortinet-compatible 100G environments. Choose this DAC when you want dependable short-distance connectivity with fewer components to source, install, and support. It is a disciplined option for production networks that need speed without unnecessary overhead.
