Act TR0421 QSFP28 Open Platform transceiver

ACT TR0421 QSFP28 100G DAC Twinax Cable (3m) - Open Platform

Achieve superior 100Gbps network performance with the ACT TR0421 QSFP28 Direct Attach Cable (DAC). This high-speed, passive Twinax cable is engineered to provide a robust and highly reliable connection for short-distance links in demanding network environments. It serves as a cost-effective and low-power alternative to optical transceivers, making it the ideal solution for interconnecting switches, servers, routers, and storage devices within a rack or between adjacent racks.

Designed for maximum compatibility, this 3-meter cable features an "Open Platform" or generic coding. This ensures seamless plug-and-play functionality with a wide array of networking equipment from various manufacturers that do not require vendor-specific proprietary coding. The ACT TR0421 simplifies your data center deployments by offering a straightforward, high-bandwidth connection without the complexity of configuration, delivering consistent 100 Gigabit Ethernet throughput for your most critical applications. Its passive design means lower power consumption, contributing to reduced operational costs and a greener data center footprint. Trust in ACT to deliver the performance and reliability your modern network infrastructure demands.

Key Benefits:

* Exceptional 100Gbps Performance: Delivers full 100 Gigabit Ethernet speed, perfect for high-throughput applications, data center aggregation, and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.
* Cost-Effective Connectivity: Provides a significant cost advantage over optical solutions (two transceivers and a fiber cable) for short-reach applications, reducing your total cost of ownership.
* Plug-and-Play Installation: With its generic coding and integrated design, this cable is ready to use right out of the box. Simply plug the QSFP28 connectors into compatible ports for an instant, high-speed link.
