Backwards compatible with QSFP+ interfaces at 40 Gbps, the cable provides a low-latency, passive copper connection for same-rack and adjacent-rack switch interconnects.

The passive copper design requires no power and introduces no signal processing delay, making it the preferred choice over optical transceivers for connections under 3 meters. The QSFP28 form factor supports both 100GbE and 40GbE link rates, so the same cable works as infrastructure upgrades from 40G to 100G switching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the UACC-DAC-QSFP28-3M Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100G switch-to-switch uplinks\u003c\/strong\u003e where two QSFP28-equipped switches in the same rack or adjacent racks need maximum bandwidth interconnect at the lowest possible latency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAggregation layer connections\u003c\/strong\u003e where a core or aggregation switch connects to access-layer switches via 100G QSFP28 ports for high-throughput backhaul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40G to 100G migration\u003c\/strong\u003e where the QSFP28\/QSFP+ backwards compatibility allows deploying the cable at 40G today and upgrading to 100G when both switches support it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the UACC-DAC-QSFP28-3M Delivers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100\/40 Gbps data rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full 100G throughput over QSFP28 ports, with backwards compatibility to 40G on QSFP+ interfaces.
