25G SFP28 Direct Attach Copper Cable

This 3 metre passive twinax cable uses SFP28 connectors at both ends. It is built for 25 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel up to 16G and InfiniBand EDR links inside a rack. The 30AWG construction keeps the assembly light for short-run connections between switches, servers and storage arrays.

Check SFP28 port compatibility

Verify that each device accepts SFP28 modules and supports passive copper at the intended speed. The supplier asks for the exact host brand and model so the correct EEPROM coding can be programmed. Ensure the 3 metre reach covers the distance between ports without excess slack.

Suits data-centre links needing 25G over copper

Ideal for engineers wiring top-of-rack switches to NICs or storage controllers where a coded passive cable is required. Not suitable for runs longer than 3 metres or for equipment that only accepts active optical modules. Buyers who need extended reach or multi-vendor open coding should look at active alternatives.
