  • 100Gbps QSFP28 direct-attach cable for high-density links
  • 2-metre passive copper reach reduces rack cabling complexity
  • Dell-compatible 470-ABOW-AX module ensures plug-and-play operation
  • AXIOM brand passive DAC delivers low-latency 100GBASE-CR4 connectivity

Dell-compatible 100G QSFP28 cable

This Axiom 470-ABOW-AX passive direct-attach cable provides a 100GBASE-CR4 link for Dell networking gear. It uses the QSFP28 form factor and is intended for short-range rack connections. The 2-metre length suits adjacent switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links. Buyers needing longer reach or active optics should look elsewhere.

Passive design removes external power need

Because the cable is passive, it draws no extra power from the port and adds no latency from signal conditioning. The factory-coded EEPROM ensures Dell switches recognise the link immediately. There is no separate firmware to load or licence to purchase. Installers who require breakout or media-conversion functions will need a different assembly.

Questions about this item

Will the passive QSFP28 cable need any firmware updates or active component replacements during its service life?

No, the passive design has no active electronics or firmware, so no updates or component replacements are required.

At 100 Gbps over a 2 m passive copper link, what is the first limit that appears under sustained load?

Signal integrity over the 2 m copper reach is the first limit; the passive assembly relies on host equalisation to maintain the 100 Gbps rate.
