SFP28 Passive DAC Cable

Volex’s SFP28 passive Direct Attach Copper cable features 1 transmitting and 1 receiving channels supporting 25G Ethernet and 32G Fibre Channel applications. The Volex SFP28 cable assemblies meet or exceed IEEE 802.3by standard with substantial signal integrity margin providing high performance and bandwidth interconnect solutions for high-density applications.

As next-gen data centres deploy faster speed in a tighter space, they need high performance cables that reduce power consumption, provide reliable operation and are low cost. Volex’s SFP28 cable assemblies are designed to meet the next-gen data centre needs. The Volex SFP28 cable pluggable module is compatible with SFP-DD, SFP56 and SFP28 ports for ease of data centre upgrade.

SFP28 Passive DAC Cable Product Highlights

  • Near zero power consumption and no heat generated
  • Complete cable assembly uniquely terminated at the factory to provide the most reliable operation
  • 100% tested for signal integrity with serial number traceability
