Axiom X66211A-05-AX 100GBASE-CR4 QSFP28 DAC 0.5 m

Maintain clean, low-latency 100 Gb connectivity in dense racks with this 0.5 m passive QSFP28 direct attach cable. Designed for NetApp-compatible environments, it replaces separate optics and patch cabling with a single copper assembly, helping reduce cost, power draw, and points of failure in short-reach links. The short 0.5 m length is ideal when equipment sits in adjacent rack positions or within the same enclosure, where excess cable slack creates airflow issues and makes service work harder. Passive DAC construction keeps the design simple and efficient for direct attach applications that do not require optical conversion. For infrastructure teams standardizing on high-speed interconnects, this cable supports cleaner cable management and faster deployment in top-of-rack and storage adjacency scenarios. It is a practical choice when you need dependable 100 Gb throughput without paying for optics that add complexity to a link that does not need them.
