QS28C2-HPPA-3M-ENC 100G QSFP28 DAC 3 m

Use a direct copper path when the network only needs short-reach 100G transport. This 3 m QSFP28 to QSFP28 DAC is built for HP/Aruba to Palo Alto compatible environments, giving teams a straightforward way to connect supported switches without introducing optical modules, fiber patching, or additional power draw. In dense infrastructure, the value of a DAC is in what it removes. Fewer parts to source. Fewer failure points to manage. Less time spent matching transceivers and cleaning up cable runs. For adjacent racks, top-of-rack to aggregation links, and other fixed-distance deployments, a passive copper assembly keeps the connection simple and predictable. The 100GBASE-CU design is well suited to short interconnects where latency, cost control, and installation speed matter. TAA-compliant positioning also supports procurement requirements in regulated or contract-driven environments. When the goal is dependable 100G connectivity between compatible platforms, this cable provides the direct, no-frills link infrastructure teams expect.
