Juniper QSFP28 100G DAC 1M JNP-100G-DAC-1M | Direct Attach, 100 GbE

Maintain high-speed connectivity where distance is measured in rack units, not meters. The Juniper QSFP28 100G DAC 1M is a direct attach copper cable designed for short-reach 100 GbE links between compatible QSFP28 ports. At 1 m, it is well suited for adjacent equipment, top-of-rack switching, and tightly packed data center layouts where clean cable management matters. Compared with optical alternatives, DAC simplifies deployment by removing separate transceivers and reducing component count. That means fewer parts to source, fewer points of failure, and lower power overhead in dense environments. For infrastructure teams standardizing on Juniper hardware, this cable supports a straightforward, vendor-aligned path for high-bandwidth interconnects. Use it where latency sensitivity, rack density, and operational simplicity all matter. The short length helps keep pathways organized and minimizes excess slack, while the QSFP28 form factor supports modern 100 GbE architectures without adding complexity to the stack.
