Eaton N282-02M-28-BK Tripp Lite Series 100GbE 2M DAC Cable
Overview
The Eaton N282-02M-28-BK is a high-performance passive Direct Attach Cable (DAC) designed to deliver robust, high-bandwidth connectivity for modern IT infrastructure. As a QSFP28 to QSFP28 100GbE copper InfiniBand cable, it serves as an essential component for linking active network equipment in demanding environments such as data centers, high-end servers, and enterprise wiring closets. This cable effectively addresses the challenge of achieving next-generation data rates over short distances with superior reliability and cost efficiency. Engineered for performance, the N282-02M-28-BK combines four 28 Gbps SFP channels into a single high-density cable, providing an aggregate throughput of 100 Gbps. Its construction incorporates eight-pair wire technology and flexible 26 AWG conductors, optimized for bandwidth-intense applications, including 100-Gigabit Ethernet (100GBASE-CR4) and EDR InfiniBand. Zinc die-cast male QSFP+ connectors are integrated to offer exceptional EMI resistance, minimal insertion loss, and reduced crosstalk, ensuring stable and reliable high-speed data transmission. Ideal for short-range interconnects, this 2-meter cable is typically deployed within racks or between adjacent racks to link switches, servers, or storage devices. Its passive copper design simplifies installation, as it does not require external power. The cable is fully compliant with the MSA SFF-8665 architecture for broad compatibility across various QSFP and QSFP+ ports. Furthermore, ergonomic pull-tab ejectors facilitate quick and straightforward connections and disconnections, optimizing operational efficiency in dense network environments.
