Q-4SFP25G-CU2.5M Overview
The Q-4SFP25G-CU2.5M provides 2.5 meter length passive copper cable assemblies for 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for very short reaches within racks and across adjacent racks. The cable breaks out the four lanes between QSFP28 and SFP28 connectors, allowing 100Gbps QSFP ports to connect to four 25Gbps SFP ports.
It complies with the IEEE 802.3bm CAUI-4 standard supporting links up to 2.5 meters over passive copper cable with QSFP28 to SFP28 connectors. This cable is suitable for switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections.
The individual SFP28 connector modules are compliant with SFF-8654 specifications. The cable assemblies have been tested to meet the IEEE requirement for 2.5m direct attach copper twin-axial cables. It should only be used to connect 100Gb QSFP ports to four 25Gb SFP ports for 100GBASE-CR4 and 25GBASE-CR CAUI-4 applications.
