HPE 100Gb QSFP28 Direct Attach Cable, 0.5 m | QSFP28, AOC, Enterprise

Keep 100 Gb connectivity compact, orderly, and easy to manage with this HPE QSFP28 to QSFP28 0.5 m cable. Designed for short-reach interconnects, it helps reduce excess slack between adjacent devices while preserving the port density and cable discipline required in modern data center rows. The QSFP28 interface supports 100 Gbit/s links, making this assembly a strong fit for high-throughput switching fabrics, top-of-rack aggregation, and short server interconnects. The active optical cable design is well suited to environments where you want the reach and routing flexibility of fiber-style connectivity in a short, direct form factor. At 0.5 m, it is especially useful when equipment is mounted close together and every centimeter of cable management affects airflow, serviceability, and visual clarity. Choose this cable when you need a short 100 Gb link that looks intentional, routes cleanly, and matches the density expectations of HPE infrastructure.
