What is the maximum speed and reach of the QFX-QSFP28-DAC-1M-AO?

It supports 100Gbps Ethernet speeds over a maximum reach of 1.0m (3.3ft) using passive twinax copper technology. This makes it ideal for short-distance connections between QSFP28 ports on Juniper QFX switches in datacenters.

Is this cable TAA compliant?

Yes, the AddOn QFX-QSFP28-DAC-1M-AO is fully TAA compliant, with Country of Origin USA/UK, ECCN 5A991, and HTS code 8517.62.0090, meeting U.S. government procurement requirements.

What are the connector types and wire gauge?

It features QSFP28 to QSFP28 connectors with 30AWG wire gauge, ensuring flexibility and low signal loss for reliable 100GBase-CU performance in passive DAC configuration.

What is the operating temperature range?

The cable operates from 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F) and stores from -40°C to 80°C (-40°F to 158°F), suitable for standard datacenter environments with PVC (OFNR) jacket protection.

Is it compatible with Juniper Networks QFX?

Yes, designed as a direct replacement for Juniper QFX-QSFP28-DAC-1M, fully programmed, tested, and compliant with MSA standards for seamless integration in QFX series switches.

What technology does it use?

Passive Twinax Copper (CU) technology in QSFP28 form factor, providing cost-effective, low-power 100G links without optics, perfect for rack-to-rack interconnects.
