Direct Attach Cables (DACs) with SFP28 Connectors

Tripp Lite by Eaton's series 25 GBase-CR1 DACs with SFP28 connectors transfer data at speeds of up to 25 Gbps. An economical alternative to fiber optic cables for short-distance transmission, these copper cables are suitable for data centers, server rooms, and enterprise wiring closets.

Fast transmission speeds are manufactured to meet or exceed strict 25 G Ethernet (25 GBase-CR1) standards. These passive DAC cables support transmission speeds up to 25 Gbps. They are suitable for short-range connections between networking equipment with SFP28 ports, including servers, switches, and routers. The cables comply with IEEE 802.3by standards.

Quality copper twinaxial (twinax) construction includes flexible 30 AWG conductors for maintaining smooth high-frequency response. Both ends have a small form-factor pluggable 28 (SFP28) male connector. Made of die-cast zinc, the connectors provide superior resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Dust caps protect the connectors when not in use.

Cost-effective transmission for connections over short distances, twinax copper cables are an economical alternative to fiber optic cables.

The easy installation of the pull tabs helps installers make quick, easy connections. The cables are hot-pluggable for quick setup and configuration without interrupting the network.

The wide compatibility of the cables complies with the latest SFP28 MSA (multi-source agreement) SFF-8432 architecture to support multiple platforms. They are compatible with network equipment from brands open to third-party cables, including Arista, Cisco, Dell, Juniper, and Mellanox.

The Tripp Lite series DAC cables come with a lifetime limited warranty. Eaton also provides free product support via phone, email, or chat. Their product experts are ready to answer any questions users may have.
