SFP28 Direct Attach Cable 25 Gbit/s

This passive SFP28 to SFP28 cable connects two 25 Gbit/s network ports directly. It is built for short reach links inside a rack or between adjacent switches. The assembly carries TAA compliance for regulated procurements. It suits engineers deploying 25GBase-CU links without active optics.

Passive copper construction under sustained load

Because the cable is passive it adds no latency or power draw beyond the copper path itself. Signal integrity holds across the rated 25 Gbit/s rate without onboard retimers or equalisation. Heat output stays negligible during continuous operation. The design targets stable throughput in dense interconnect environments.

TAA compliant 25GBase-CU passive assembly

The single deciding specification is the TAA compliant passive 25GBase-CU rating. Buyers needing an active or longer reach solution cannot use this part. Procurement rules requiring domestic origin are satisfied by the United States manufacture. Any deployment demanding forward error correction offload must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How much power does this passive 25 Gbit/s SFP28 cable draw when running continuously?

As a passive device it draws no external power; only the host ports supply the signal current.

Which ports must my equipment already provide for this SFP28-to-SFP28 cable to function?

Both ends require an SFP28 cage that supports 25 Gbit/s direct-attach copper.

Can I plug this SFP28 cable into the SFP28 cages on my existing 25 Gbit/s switches without configuration changes?

Yes, the passive 25 Gbit/s SFP28 cable is designed for direct connection between compatible SFP28 ports.
