Axiom 100GBase-CR4 passive twinax cable 16.4 ft with QSFP ends

Axiom

Axiom 100G-DACP-QSFP5M-AX 100GBase-CR4 direct attach cable 16.4 ft

SKU CH-N2R0-CXD54 MPN 100G-DACP-QSFP5M-AX

A 16.4 ft passive Twinaxial cable for 100 GbE direct-attach QSFP links

  • 100GBase-CR4 supports 100 Gbps throughput
  • 4 ft passive Twinaxial cable reaches adjacent racks
  • Passive design needs no external power source
  • Direct attach construction eliminates separate transceiver modules
  • Twinaxial shielding reduces electromagnetic interference

Direct Attach Cable for 100G Links

This Axiom direct attach cable uses 100GBase-CR4 twinaxial copper to connect networking equipment over a distance of 16.4 ft. The passive design requires no external power and plugs directly into compatible QSFP ports on switches, routers or server adapters. It is built for high-density data-centre and enterprise fabrics where short-reach 100 Gb/s connectivity is needed.

Suits Racks Needing Passive Copper Reach

Network teams who want a low-latency, cost-effective link between adjacent racks or inside a single cabinet will find the 16.4 ft length practical. Installations that require active optical cables, longer passive reaches or breakout configurations should look at other cable types because this assembly is fixed at one length and one lane arrangement.

16.4 ft Passive Twinaxial Length Decides Fit

The single specification that determines whether this part fits the job is the 16.4 ft passive twinaxial length. If the physical path between ports exceeds this distance or the design calls for active signal conditioning, this cable will not meet the requirement.

Highlights

  • 100GBase-CR4 supports 100 Gbps throughput
  • 4 ft passive Twinaxial cable reaches adjacent racks
  • Passive design needs no external power source
  • Direct attach construction eliminates separate transceiver modules
  • Twinaxial shielding reduces electromagnetic interference

Questions about this item

What comes with the Axiom 100GBase-CR4 direct attach cable and is anything else needed?

The cable ships as a single 16.4 ft twinaxial assembly with QSFP connectors on both ends. No separate transceivers or power modules are required for operation.

How do I choose the right length or version of this 100GBase-CR4 cable?

This model is a fixed 16.4 ft passive twinaxial cable. Select it when the link distance matches that length; other lengths would be different part numbers.

What does the 100 Gbps rating mean when the cable is installed in a switch?

It supports a 100 Gbps CR4 lane aggregation across the 16.4 ft passive twinaxial link, provided both ports comply with the 100GBase-CR4 electrical specification.
