Panduit QuickNet QSFP28 100G Passive DAC, 2m

The Panduit QuickNet QSFP28 100G Passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable delivers high-speed interconnectivity for modern data center fabrics without active signal conditioning. This 2-meter passive copper assembly eliminates the power consumption and latency overhead of active optical or electronic solutions, making it ideal for short-reach, high-density interconnect scenarios where cost efficiency and reliability are paramount.

Designed for seamless integration into spine-leaf architectures and AI cluster networks, the cable operates at full 100 Gbps speeds per IEEE 802.3bm QSFP28 specifications. The passive topology requires no power supply or external logic, reducing operational complexity and extending cable lifespan in demanding hyperscale environments.

QuickNet DAC cables are engineered for demanding applications requiring sustained, lossless transmission over copper media. The 2-meter length optimizes rack-to-ToR and ToR-to-spine topologies, addressing the acute capacity demands of modern machine learning training clusters and high-performance computing fabrics.

Ideal for

• Spine-leaf fabric interconnection in modular data center designs
• GPU cluster networking for distributed AI model training
• High-frequency trading and financial services ultra-low-latency networks
• HPC cluster node-to-switch rapid interconnect
• Hyperscale cloud infrastructure east-west traffic optimization
• Enterprise storage area network (SAN) and NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) deployments
