100G QSFP28 to QSFP28 0.5–5m DAC | QSFP-100G-CU1H / 980-9I62Q-00E001

Interface and construction

DACs feature a fully passive design that eliminates risks from optical-electrical component failures, ensuring long-term stable operation.

Application and routing

Seamless plug-and-play deployment ensures compatibility with mainstream switches and servers, simplifying installation and reducing both procurement and operational costs. DACs deliver a flexible and cost-efficient solution for various short-range interconnection scenarios.

Installation and validation

Installation and validation

can provide NVIDIA Mellanox compatible InfiniBand DAC cables with exact the same technical and performance standard including zero power consumption, high bandwidth, high density, lowest latency and insertion loss. In addition, it is almost impossible to achieve both low latency and low-power consumption for more than 98% of compatible InfiniBand Mellanox cable vendors. But InfiniBand cables can achieve both ultimate low-latency, low-power interconnects. Extensively tested for low bit error ratings, yielding substantially better results than InfiniBand Trade Association (IBTA) standards and most competitors, which can be perfectly adapted to NVIDIA Mellanox Linkx cables' technical and performance requirements.

Installation and validation

Compared with AOC cables, ‘s unique quality passive copper cable solutions provide the lowest-cost and lowest-power consumption connectivity for short-distance interconnects. It enables higher port bandwidth, density, the lowest latency, and configurability at a low cost so is widely used in data centers to connect servers and GPU compute systems to the top-of-rack (TOR) switches and link spine-to-super-spine switches inside racks over short cable lengths. DACs are also used to create InfiniBand storage fabrics with hard-disk-drive (HDD) and flash memory subsystems.
