25G SFP28 Passive DAC

The 25G SFP28 Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) is a passive twinax direct attach copper cable with SFP28 to SFP28, supporting 25Gbps links over a length of 0.5m (1.64ft). As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for 25G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, and complies with IEEE 802.3, SFP28 MSA, SFF-8402, Infiniband, EIA 364-1000.

Applications
The 25G SFP28 Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) is a 25Gbps direct attach copper cable for SFP28 to SFP28 connections in 25G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. This unit is manufactured in 8 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 5m (16ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: IEEE 802.3, SFP28 MSA, SFF-8402, Infiniband, EIA 364-1000. Every unit's EEPROM coding and link behavior are verified on real host equipment in our lab, so what arrives at your site is ready to use.
Ordering Information
The part number is length dependent, such as SFP-25G-PC005 for the shortest option. Length options are 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 2.5m (8ft), 3m (10ft), 4m (13ft) and 5m (16ft). Our factory also produces custom lengths beyond these on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.
Packaging
Each unit is sealed in an anti-static bag, cushioned in a blister tray and boxed in an export-grade carton. Outer cartons carry handling marks and can be palletized for air or sea freight. If your project requires retail boxes, barcodes or your own brand on the label, we can arrange that as well.
Customization Service
Because we are the factory, customization is straightforward: non-standard lengths, different jacket materials, specific polarity or breakout wiring, and compatibility programming for particular switch brands are all routine work for us. Small trial orders are accepted so you can verify quality before scaling up.
How We Ship
Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.
Tested Before Shipment
We do not ship untested stock. Each transceiver and cable is powered up in our test racks, checked for link stability, transmit power, receiver sensitivity and diagnostic readouts, and only then packed for delivery. This factory-level testing is one reason network integrators keep reordering from us year after year.
