FN-CABLE-QSFP28-5 — 100GE QSFP28 Passive Direct Attach Cable, 5m for Systems with QSFP28 slots

The FN-CABLE-QSFP28-5 from Fortinet is a 100GE passive DAC cable in QSFP28 form factor, 5 meters in length, enabling a direct copper connection at 100 Gbps between two devices with QSFP28 slots. Compliant with the 100GE DAC 5m standard, it provides a cost-effective alternative to optical transceivers for distances up to 5 meters, with near-zero latency. Operating temperature range: 0 to 70 °C.

At 5 meters, this Fortinet QSFP28 DAC cable is the longest in the passive copper 100 Gbps lineup, designed for interconnects between separate racks within the same row of a datacenter. It distinguishes itself from the 1 m, 2 m, and 3 m variants by its ability to cover slightly longer distances without resorting to optical fiber. Genuine Fortinet hardware, manufacturer warranty.
