Direct-attach cable for 100 GbE links
This Axiom JNP-100G-DAC-5M-AX is a 16.4 ft QSFP28-to-QSFP28 twinaxial cable built for 100GBASE-CR4 connections between routers, switches and servers. It ships as a single passive assembly with 24 AWG conductors and TAA-compliant sourcing.
Passive reach limited to 16.4 ft
The 12.89 Gb/s per lane design works only within the 16.40 ft length supplied; longer runs need active or optical alternatives. No signal conditioning is built into the cable, so link budget depends entirely on the host ports meeting the 100GBASE-CR4 electrical specification.
Verify QSFP28 ports and CR4 support
Confirm both ends of the link provide QSFP28 cages rated for 100GBASE-CR4 passive copper before ordering. The 24 AWG twinax construction fixes the minimum bend radius and panel clearance, so check rack routing space matches the 16.4 ft assembly.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 16.4 ft length or a shorter DAC for my rack?
The 16.4 ft passive twinaxial cable suits cross-rack links; pick a shorter length only if your QSFP28 ports are closer together.
What does the 12.89 Gb/s rate deliver in a live network?
It carries a 100GBASE-CR4 signal over 24 AWG copper, giving full 100 Gb/s throughput between connected routers, switches or servers.
How does the QSFP28 interface limit the link?
The QSFP28 connectors cap the assembly at 100 Gb/s and 16.4 ft, so longer runs or higher speeds need a different media type.
