Grey 9.80 ft SFP28 passive direct attach cable with SFP connectors both ends

AddOn

AddOn 25 Gbit/s SFP28 to SFP28 Direct Attach Cable 9.80 ft

SKU CH-RN9C-QMWMV

A 25 Gbit/s SFP28 to SFP28 passive direct attach cable measuring 9.80 ft with 30 AWG wire gauge

  • TypeConsumer Electronics
  • 25 Gbit/s throughput for high-speed network links
  • 80 ft length fits standard rack-to-rack runs
  • Passive copper design needs no external power
  • 30 AWG conductors keep the cable light and flexible
  • TAA compliant for US federal procurement requirements

25 Gbit/s SFP28 Direct Attach Cable

This passive copper cable links two SFP28 ports at 25 Gbit/s. It suits data-centre and enterprise racks where short, low-latency links are required. The 30 AWG construction keeps the assembly light for dense patch-panel routing. TAA compliance allows use in US federal procurements.

9.80 ft reach with passive operation

The 9.80 ft length covers adjacent rack connections without active power draw or added latency. It comfortably handles 25 Gbit/s Ethernet or InfiniBand links within a single cabinet. Beyond this distance passive copper reaches its signal-integrity limit and active optical cables become necessary.

Replaces active optical cables for short runs

The cable upgrades installations that previously used powered transceivers for intra-rack links, removing power consumption and failure points. The jump is worth it when link distance stays under 9.80 ft and the switch ports support 25GBase-CU. Buyers needing longer reach or active signal conditioning cannot use this passive assembly.

Questions about this item

Will this 25 Gbit/s SFP28 direct attach cable connect to the 25 Gbit/s SFP28 ports on my existing network devices?

Yes, both ends use SFP28 connectors rated for 25 Gbit/s, so the cable links directly to matching ports on switches, routers or NICs without an intermediate transceiver.

How can I confirm the passive 30 AWG copper assembly is operating at the full 25 Gbit/s rate after installation?

Check the link status LEDs on the connected ports and verify a negotiated speed of 25 Gbit/s in the switch or NIC management interface; a solid link light at that rate shows the cable is functioning as intended.

Does the 9.80 ft AddOn SFP28 to SFP28 cable ship with any transceivers, mounting brackets or additional accessories?

No, the package contains only the passive direct attach cable with SFP28 connectors on each end; transceivers and mounting hardware are not included and must be sourced separately if required.
