Product Overview
AI-generated summary
At ~£152.68 ex-VAT for a 3m 100G DAC/QSFP28 link, this is the kind of cable you buy when you want predictable performance and you don’t want the hassle of negotiating optics compatibility. Direct-attach copper like this is usually a no-drama choice for short rack-to-rack runs (same row, same cabinet, or within a small structured cabling zone). If you’re building an interconnect that’s already been validated with your switch platform family (the models it mentions), it tends to “just work” and saves you power, cost, and cooling compared with pluggable optics.
I’d buy this if you’re standardising on known-good HPE/Arista/Cisco/QFX-style port modules in that ecosystem and you’re comfortable that 3m is the distance you need. I’d think twice if you’re not sure about port/feature compatibility, if you need longer reach, or if you’ve got mixed-vendor kit—DACs can be picky about what they’ll train with. Also, if you’re doing this at scale, check lead time and whether you’re paying a premium versus generic DACs that your exact switch tolerates; for most 100G short links, the “smart buy” is the one that your specific hardware confirms will work reliably, not just the one that’s listed by name.
