Amphenol 3m (9.8') QSFP28 (100G QSFP) 100GBASE-CR4 802.3bj qualified passive copper cables provide next generation performance by combining four SFP channels operating at speeds up to 28.0 Gbps (SFP28) into one affordable high-density package (QSFP28) capable of combined speeds in excess of 100-Gigabits per second. Our QSFP28 cables integrate a new 100G Ethernet-optimized (100GbE) 38-position “board-as-connector” design with zinc die-cast back shells for superior EMI resistance, minimal insertion loss, and improved cross-talk performance. Featuring our exclusive Amphenol Spectra-Strip SKEWCLEAR EXF Extended Frequency Series 8-pair wire technology optimized for bandwidth-intense applications including 100-Gigabit Ethernet (100GBASE-CR4), 128G Fiber Channel and EDR 4x InfiniBand. SKEWCLEAR EXF allows use of flexible 26 AWG conductors while maintaining a smooth high-frequency response (20 GHz) superior to our competitors' 24 AWG equivalent. Each 3m (9.8 ft) length QSFP28 cable goes through a rigorous assembly and test procedure aimed at eliminating unnecessary signal loss. For OEM clients, this cable is identical to the direct-to-OEM Amphenol part number NDAAFJ100G-003M. ** Note: This is a special order 26 AWG version for use only with select switches that don't support standard 30 AWG cables.
